Irish marine researchers can now apply for fully funded ship
time in 2011 on a range of 18 ocean-going and inshore research
vessels under a new project called EUROFLEETS which has been
launched and funded by the European Union.
Expressions of interest need to be received by the 15th
January 2010, with the call for full proposals opening
on 1st March 2010.
EUROFLEETS
offers scientists 66 fully funded days of ship time on 5 global/ocean
class research vessels and 110 days of ship time on 13 regional
class ships including the use of large equipment such as remotely
operated vehicles (ROVs) and submersibles.
Mr Aodhan Fitzgerald, of the Marine Institute’s Ocean Science
Services Team, said - “This provides a fantastic opportunity
for Irish researchers to access a wide variety of vessel and
equipment across Europe. The Marine Institute is proud
and pleased to offer ship time on the national research vessels
RV Celtic
Explorer and RV Celtic
Voyager as well as access to the ROV
'Holland 1' as part of this project.”
