FUNDS AVAILABLE FOR SHORT VISITS TO THE SWEDISH MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY 
(NATURHISTORISKA RIKSMUSEET, NRM)

Fourth and last call



We have the opportunity to offer economic support to scientists who wish to 
use the collections and/or other research facilities at NRM. The resources 
are made available through the European Commission's "Improving the Human 
Research Potential and the Socio-economic Knowledge Base" (IHP) scheme. Our 
programme at NRM, entitled "Access to Naturhistoriska Riksmuseet High 
Latitude" (High Lat), will run until 29 February 2004. High Lat funded 
visits to NRM will have to be accomplished by this date. The grant enables 
us to meet international travel and accommodation costs for visiting 
scientists.

The last call for applications is opened.

There are a number of terms and conditions associated with this 
opportunity, as outlined below. If you are interested in applying for 
support, or are uncertain about whether you are eligible, please visit our 
website (http://www.nrm.se/highlat/) or contact the project manager 
(<mailto:highlat@nrm.se)>highlat@nrm.se).



1) To be eligible you must conduct your research in a EU Member State or

Associated State (http://www.nrm.se/highlat/conditions.html). Scientists

working in Sweden are not eligible for support under the High Lat programme.

2) A formal application must be made. Please read the Application

Guidelines (http://www.nrm.se/highlat/applguide.html) before completing the

Application Form (http://www.nrm.se/highlat/application.html). The next and

last deadline for submission of applications is 6 June 2003.

3) Priority will be given to scientists who have not previously used

our facilities and who are working in regions of the EU where few such

research infrastructures exist.

We hope that many of you will see this as a chance to visit the Swedish 
Museum of Natural History, utilising collections and other facilities that 
have not previously been available to you.
