Commission extends deadline for proposals for demining technologies
The European Commission recently published a call for proposals for indirect RTD actions under the specific programme for research technological development (RTD) and demonstration on a user-friendly information society (OJ C 38 of 10.2.2000 p. 11). Under Part 1(a) of point 4 of this call, proposers were invited to submit proposals addressing data for fusion and smart sensor technologies for humanitarian demining (Action line 1.4.2). A study on 'Operational needs and equipment requirements for mine action in south eastern Europe' was carried out by the Geneva International Centre for Humanitarian demining on behalf of the Joint Research Centre of the European Commission. The results could prove useful to proposers intending to address the above-mentioned Action Line. Information on this study and related information is available from the CORDIS webservice at: URL: http://cordis.europa.eu/ist/calls/200001.htm(odnośnik otworzy się w nowym oknie) In order to allow the results of this study to be taken into consideration by proposers, the deadline now applicable to proposals for Action Line 1.4.2 is 2 June 2000 at 5pm (Brussels local time) - one month later than originally foreseen. This change should be borne in mind when consulting for example the Guide for Proposers, says the Commission. All other conditions, including those that apply to deadlines, remain the same as those given in the above mentioned call.
