Tárgy: Call for proposals for access to CERIC-ERIC, the integrated 
multidisciplinary facility for Materials and Biomaterials

CERIC-ERIC, the European Distributed Research Infrastructure for 
Nano-level Analysis and preparation of Materials and Biomaterials opens 
a new call for proposals. CERIC offers access to more than 40 different 
and complementary state of the art techniques, distributed in 7 
different countries. It allows users to combine a wide range of methods 
for sample preparation and analysis in a flexible and project oriented 
way, through multi-technique proposals. A detailed description of the 
facilities available in CERIC can be found in 
http://ceric-eric.eu/index.php?n=Users.Facilities

What is new in this call

1- Two Steps deadline
Taking into account the difficulties that some users experience in 
writing detailed and successful proposals already meeting the required 
standards for each of the techniques requested, we are offering a two 
steps deadline, and a technical support. The first deadline for 
proposals submission will be followed by a technical evaluation. Those 
proposals meeting the required standards will be directly forwarded to 
the scientific evaluation (and the proposers will be notified).  The 
proposers of those proposals which are  missing some technical 
information,  will be informed, allowing the improvement of the contents 
 before the final submission with a further ten days deadline. To this 
purpose, the possibility to directly interact with the scientists in 
charge of the requested facilities will be offered when appropriate.

2-Single instrument proposals now possible:
Another novelty is the possibility to submit single-instrument proposals 
for those facilities where there are no other channels for open access 
available, namely: Light Scattering Laboratory and SAXS facility in 
Graz, HRTEM and EPR facilities in Bucharest, XPD, Near Ambient Pressure 
XPS and FESEM facilities in Prague and Tandem accelerator facility in 
Zagreb (see descriptions in 
http://ceric-eric.eu/index.php?n=Users.Facilities).

3- New facilities offered on a trial basis:
The Italian Partner Facility will provide in this call, on a trial 
basis, also access to mass spectrometry facilities in Trento (see 
technical description in 
http://ceric-eric.eu/index.php?n=Users.Facilities).

4- New instruments available: NAP XPS
The Near Ambient Pressure (NAP) XPS system will be available in the SPL 
laboratory in Prague for XPS operando studies. The NAP XPS facility will 
be equipped with an UHV and NAP XPS analysis chambers, preparation and 
load lock chambers, a sputter gun, LEED, a flood gun and monochromatised 
Ka X-ray source. NAP analysis can be performed up to 50 mbar pressure.

How to apply

Access to CERIC is open to scientists from all over the world and free 
of charge for academic and non-proprietary research. Proposals shall be 
submitted online through the Virtual Unified Office (VUO). The best 
projects are selected by peer review through an independent and 
international panel of experts. For further information about the 
evaluation and how to submit successful proposals please use the  menu 
on the left.
The only condition for free access is the publication of the results 
obtained through the use of the facilities , with appropriate reference 
to the facilities and local scientific and technical support involved.

The deadline for proposals submission is on TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 1st 17:00 
CET.
