The Norwegian Polar Institute is pleased to announce a limited opportunity for full travel funding (airfare + accommodation) to students and researchers attending the Nordic Branch of the IGS meeting in Tromsø, Norway, from 26-28 October 2016.
Funding is provided by the Quantarctica project (http://quantarctica.npolar.no) and is contingent on active participation in the Quantarctica User Workshop on the morning of Wednesday, 26 October. Eligibility is not strictly limited to Antarctic researchers. However, we ask that only those who have a genuine interest in including Quantarctica/QGIS in their research toolbox apply.
Those interested should submit a short (1-2 paragraph) summary of their research background and statement of interest to the Quantarctica Project Coordinator, at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.. Any questions are also welcome.
Please note that due to cost concerns and the regional scope of the meeting, we limit submissions to Antarctic researchers based in the Nordic countries (Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden). However, researchers from other countries may be considered on a case-by-case basis.
The Quantarctica project strongly encourages applications from students and early-career researchers.
