The sixth call for access to SIOS research infrastructure opened on 12 September 2023 and closed on 6 November 2023 (SIOS access call autumn 2023). 10 applications were submitted. After the scientific evaluation and feasibility assessment it was decided that SIOS could support 6 of the proposed projects.
All of the supported projects will have physical access to SIOS Research Infrastructure.
Table 1 shows the list of projects that SIOS is supporting in 2024.
