 PotentIal Programme

The Commission has agreed to provide funded access for researchers to the large shaking tables and reaction-wall facility listed below.  Applications for such access from nationals of a Member State or Associated State* are now invited.

Applicants with interest in research in earthquake and structural dynamics engineering should apply to the Director of one of the laboratories for consideration by the Management Panel appointed by the Commission.  Details should be given of the research proposed and the likely amount of access required.  Approved users will receive travel and subsistence costs from the host laboratory.  More precise details are available from the Director of each laboratory.
