Dear colleagues,

we are pleased to announce the official start of the AIDA-2020
Transnational Access to the DESY II Test Beam facility.

The program is open till 30.04.2019 and you are cordially invited to
apply for the travel grant for your measurements campaigns at the DESY
test beam.

There is no deadline for submissions, but you have to meet the main
requirements of AIDA-2020 to be eligible:

---!!--- you (or at least the user group leader and the majority of the
users) are coming to the DESY Test Beam facility from abroad and you are
affiliated with a non-German institution---!!---

How to apply for Transnational Access:
DESY application procedure consists of the 1) informal request; 2)
filling in the short AIDA-2020 application form and 3) registration for
your fixed beam time via INDICO.

Thus, please make first a general request for the DESY test beam and
provide the following information to testbeam-coor@desy.de:
        - project name and short description
        - responsible Person
        - participating Groups
        - number of requested weeks
        - preferred month(s)
        - required infrastructure (beam telescope, magnetic field, gas,
stages)

After this step you will be contacted by the DESY test beam team with
further instructions concerning AIDA-2020 application form and
reimbursement rules.

Please be aware that:
1)    Due to budget limitations, we can  offer financial support for EU
groups  only for up to two test beam weeks or/and up to 5 persons

2)    Our budget allocated for non-EU groups is even more constrained,
therefore supporting of the non-EU groups will be decided on a
case-by-case basis

3)    User groups are expected to publish results related to their DESY
Test Beam Access with using of the AIDA-2020 acknowledgment text

More information could be found under http://testbeam.desy.de and

do not hesitate to contact us natalia.potylitsina-kube@desy.de or
