Successful applicants will receive travel funding and have access to all

European research teams, including those with participants from other
countries, and is provided under the Research Infrastructures Action of
the European Community FP6 Specific Program for Structuring the European
Research Area.

of funding decisions by 1 March 2007. Detailed application information,
