Dear all,
the European Geosciences Union (EGU) and the European Federation
of Geologists (EFG) are running a survey into geoscientists' experience
of Horizon 2020 projects and funding.
The survey is open until 15th May and can be reached at:
https://www.egu.eu/news/402/what-changes-are-needed-in-eu-funding-for-the-geosciences-complete-the-survey/
part of which says:
"To gather information about Horizon 2020, the European Geosciences Union (EGU) and the European Federation of Geologists (EFG) are collectively conducting a survey within the geoscientific community to assess the perceived success of Horizon 2020 and identify any areas that need to be improved. While there are a number of different overarching studies on Horizon 2020, the EGU / EFG evaluation will exclusively focus on the geoscience community. The information collected through this survey will be analysed and summarised. It will then be circulated to relevant policymakers, aiming to outline issues within the funding programme that geoscientists feel need to be amended on or continued. A Dinner Debate, hosted by the EGU and EFG in Brussels in September 2018, will further highlight the areas within the EU Framework Programmes that geoscientists feel are most important."
GeolSoc BGA members will see an advert for this survey at the bottom of the most
recent GeolSoc e-newsletter.
Regards,
Sheila Peacock,
list co-owner.
