Ninth Call for PROBA2 Guest Investigator Program - Extended

The PROBA2 team welcomes research proposals for a ninth round of its Guest Investigator program for research based on SWAP and LYRA data analysis by scientists outside the SWAP and LYRA PI-teams. In this round we anticipate funding for around five guest investigators or teams who will visit the PROBA2 Science Center at the Royal Observatory of Belgium, in Brussels, between January 2020 and January 2021.

Selected proposers will be invited to spend a few weeks with the PI teams to obtain expert knowledge on the instruments, to participate in the daily commanding of the SWAP and LYRA instruments according to the needs of their data analysis proposal, and to conduct their research Guest investigators may be reimbursed for travel, accommodation and living expenses. Limited support to present the results at an international conference (during the visit at P2SC) can also be considered.

During the selection process, special consideration will be given to young scientists and PhD students, collaborative research teams with members from more than one research institute (funding above the 5000 euro level may be approved for such teams), and to proposals addressing research topics to which SWAP and LYRA are particularly well-suited.

More details about the application process can be found here: http://proba2.oma.be/NinthGICall, or by emailing swap_lyra@oma.be

Deadline: Proposals must be received by 2020-Jan-05 (23:59 CET)
