INTAS CALL FOR PROPOSALS FOR RESEARCH ON THE ARAL SEA BASIN IN CO-OPERATION WITH CNRS FRANCE & DFG GERMANY

INTAS - the International Association for the promotion of co-operation with scientists from the New Independent States of the former Soviet Union (NIS) was established in June 1993 as a European initiative to support research projects and networks of scientific excellence for the mutual benefit of teams from the INTAS members and the NIS. Scientific research projects and networks are selected on the basis of a peer review system from proposals submitted to INTAS within the framework of regularly launched calls, some jointly with other organisations from either NIS and INTAS members.

1. Call for proposals on research projects on the Aral Sea Basin
INTAS, together with the Call Co-operation Partners CNRS and DFG, invites proposals for research projects under this call. The funding provided by INTAS will be up to 2 million Euro, at least 80% of which must be used by groups from the New Independent States of the former Soviet Union. The remaining 20% are for use by participants from INTAS Member States. In addition, participants from France and Germany may be eligible for a grant of up to 100% of their costs from either CNRS or DFG, respectively.
Participants in funded projects will also be expected to participate in annual seminars to exchange results and ideas.
2. Scope of the research proposals under this call
The call is intended to give support to high quality, innovative, international research projects covering both natural and socioeconomic aspects of the following topics, whose results could be used by local people or national/international development agencies to improve the lives of the inhabitants of the Aral Sea Basin.

Drinking water and health:

- The determination of the quality of ground and surface waters suitable for drinking water production;
- Water purification, irrigation and water conservation methods appropriate to the Aral Sea Basin that are based on materials and energy sources available in the region;
- Strategies for the pricing and the distribution of drinking water;
- The assessment of the effects of environmental stress on the health of people living close to the former boundaries of the Aral Sea and the development of preventive measures to counter them;
- New methods for the treatment, neutralization or removal of industrial, municipal, agricultural or other sources of pollution of natural waters;

Resources

- The rehabilitation of the natural Eco-systems and bio-diversity or of the basin;
- The potential of highly saline waters as sources of energy and useful products;

Agriculture

- Crops and cropping systems adapted to salt contaminated soils, air and waters, including water quality management technologies for the multiple use of drainage water in the growth of salt-tolerant plants and intensive fish breeding, due regard being paid to the improvement of ancient water and land practices, irrigation systems and traditional farming methods;

Climate

- The effect of changes in the Aral Sea Basin on its regional climate and their likely impact upon water availability.

Note: Proposals must have a high original research content: technology development or technology transfer projects based upon existing knowledge will not be funded under this call.

3. Timetable for the Aral Sea Basin Call:

   Announcement | 30th October 2000
   Deadline for submission | 12.00 h on 28th February 2001 (at INTAS in Brussels)

Results of selection | April 2001

Earliest start of the projects | August 2001

- Eligibility of proposals
Proposals must:

- Be within the scope of the call
- Have a significant novel research content
- Meet the minimum partnership
- Respect the maximum grants
- Respect the identified submission procedure
- Meet the deadline
- Have a duration of between 24 and 36 months

- Minimum partnership
There must be at least four teams: at least two teams from different NIS organisations, and at least two teams from mutually independent organisations from different INTAS members. The co-ordinator must come from one of the INTAS members.
