Transnational Access includes free access (either physical or remote) for user groups/users to research facilities and their field sites, including support for travel and logistic costs. Overall, INTERACT provides three different modalities of access: Transnational and Remote Access that are applied through annual calls, and Virtual Access which means free access to data from stations, available at all times in the INTERACT Data Portal.
The current call for Transnational and Remote Access applications is open until 15th November 2022, and it is for access taking place in April -October 2023. You can find the TA/RA Call information, descriptions of stations and their facilities, and registration to the INTERACCESS on-line application system from the INTERACT website.
