Europlanet Transnational Access Pilot Call 2025 – Free Access to Facilities
Europlanet has launched a new call for Transnational Access (TA), which enables researchers who are members of Europlanet to visit participating facilities that offer simulation and analysis capabilities relevant to planetary science.
The Europlanet TA Pilot Programme 2025 offers access to eight facilities in five internationally renowned research centres in Europe, as well as six facilities in South Korea, for the simulation or characterisation of planetary conditions and materials. The programme supports all travel and local accommodation costs for researchers during their visit to participating facilities.
Building on the European Commission-funded TA programme from 2009-2024, this new call is a pilot for a sustainable TA programme that Europlanet will offer the community annually going forwards.
If you are interested in submitting an application to the Europlanet TA Pilot Call 2025, check out the call page to find more information about the call and how to submit your application. Please note that you must contact the TA facility to discuss the feasibility of your proposal before submitting your application. The call will close on 21 March 2025.
Your visits should take place between 1 May and 31 July 2025.
A report on the pilot programme will be presented at the joint meeting of the Europlanet Science Congress and the Division of Planetary Sciences (EPSC-DPS2025) in Helsinki from 7-12 September 2025.
