Costs for accommodation and other expenses of the TA users

There is no need to estimate accommodation and subsistence costs in this application.
Accommodation will either be provided on-site at no costs to the users or site personnel will assist users in obtaining suitable accommodation in the vicinity of the site. In the latter case, the costs incurred by the users will be reimbursed. Costs for food will be covered as actuals or via a flat subsistence rate in line with the usual business practices of the site owning organisation.

Data to be obtained

By submitting this proposal, you consent to the following regulation:

Travel arrangements to eLTER PLUS sites shall be the sole responsibility of the applicant(s). Cf. the note about accommodation above.

eLTER PLUS and the operator(s) of the eLTER site(s) you visit shall not be responsible for any injuries, damages, or losses caused to any user group member in connection with any TA given at an eLTER PLUS TA-site. TA users shall have appropriate travel and health insurance and assume complete and full responsibility for any and all passport, visa, vaccination, currency exchange or other entry requirements of each destination, and all safety or security conditions at the TA-sites during the length of their travel and stay.

All user group members must be clear about the legal responsibilities of their employers. eLTER PLUS has no liability to cover the extra costs of unforeseen circumstances related to travel (e.g. delays or cancellations), customs, shipment and logistics, nor has it legal responsibility for the health and welfare, including emergency and accident situations, of those who are awarded TA.

By submitting this proposal, you consent to the below statement:

The user (group) confirms that they intend to disseminate the outcomes of their study conducted under the eLTER PLUS TA/RA Scheme. Users representing SMEs (Small and Medium Enterprises) are exempt from this rule. Whatever data is collected during the visit must be made available to the site owner organisation and to the wider scientific community within a reasonable time frame and without significant delays (recommended time frame: at most two years). The user are also obliged to enter metadata in the Digital Asset Register (DAR) for each of the variables monitored/measured/observed during the visit. Again, SME users are exempt from this rule. However, also to them, publishing their results is strongly recommended, e.g. through a company newsletter.

The data policy should presume a timely pathway towards Open Access. At the end of the project, or when publications arise during the project, data should be released using a standard Open Data license and be free of intellectual property rights (IPR). Successful users are kindly requested to provide a description of their visit, including photographs, and to write a blog and/or social media messages during their visit, de-scribing their experiences.

Furthermore, by submitting this proposal, you consent to the option that eLTER PLUS or eLTER site operators may use photographs for dissemination purposes which show you performing work at their sites. In this form you provide some personal data. These are needed to evaluate your application and also for reporting on the outcome of the overall eLTER PLUS TA-RA programme. You agree that eLTER PLUS will store and process these data for the duration of the project
