Applications:
The facility is open to all Swiss and international scientists. Projects can be submitted using this SwissSIMS application form that should be sent to swisssims@nullunil.ch.
There are usually 2 calls for proposal per year (deadlines: early June and early December). Submitted projects will be reviewed by a scientific steering committee, composed of 10 members from different Earth Sciences domains and from different swiss academic institutions.
Fees:
Due to the new SNF accounting, the fees are now being subdivided between:
- Consumables, which are charged at a fixed daily rate;
- Assistance with the analysis (including data processing); which is an hourly fee.
