Shelf Sea Biogeochemistry
Workshop
Closing date: 16:00 on 07 November 2011
A workshop will be held in order to facilitate the development of high-quality proposals that will effectively use the planned programme cruises and maximise the collaboration opportunities provided by 'linked' NERC and LWEC partners' research programmes.
Date of Workshop: 14 November 2011
Venue: Foresight Centre, Brownlow Street, University of Liverpool (100m from NOC, Liverpool)
Workshop Convenor: Professor Jonathan Sharples (NOC)
Estimated start time: 10:00
Estimated finish time: 15:30
The objectives of the workshops are to:
- ensure the research community is aware of the NERC National Capability available to support research, such as facilities, infrastructure and modelling, as well as the collaboration opportunities arising from NERC research programmes (eg Ocean Shelf-Edge Exchange, UK Ocean Acidification) and the programme's potential partners;
- discuss science challenges and possible approaches to undertaking the research; and
- discuss opportunities for collaboration and partnership.
Please register to attend the workshop by completing the online registration form by 16:00 on 07 November 2011.
Individuals interested in submitting proposals to deliver the programme are encouraged to attend. Spaces at the workshop are limited to 50, so the number of registrations from the same research group should be managed if possible.
Attendance at the workshop is not a prerequisite for submitting a proposal to the Announcement of Opportunity for this programme.
Further details of the workshop and agenda will be circulated to delegates prior to the meeting.
NERC will pay essential travel and subsistence costs to support attendance at the workshop, that fall within NERC guidelines for appropriate expenditure.
