The hotel is located in a scenic part of the Eastern Netherlands, the Twente region. It is a former mansion of a 'textile baron', the patrons of the once flourishing textile industry of the region. From one of the hilltops of a Saalian age glacial moraine, it overlooks an age-old small-scale countryside with many old Saxon farms. The area is well known for its many nature reserves and walking/cycling tracks.
The accommodation is arranged in two types of single rooms. For the period of 12.11.-14.11.2014 (2 nights) the prices range from 435 € to 505 € including breakfast, lunches and dinners.
For participants arriving already on Tuesday night (11.11.2014) additional 3rd night will be booked with the price ranging from 97,50 € to 135 € for the night including breakfast. (See exact prices on the registration form above)
All accommodation is self-pay. Booking is done via the registration form.
Work Package presentations
We will have similar type of work package presentations in Twente as we have had in our earlier general assemblies. WP leaders as thus asked to prepare a PPT presentation on the latest developments within their work package. In these presentations, please mention at least following:
- - WP achievements during the third project year
- - Milestones
- - Deliverables
- - Publications
- - Other achievements
- - Upcoming deadlines
- - Fieldwork / experiments during the third year
- - Collaborations with other WPs
- - Major outstanding issues for the WP deadlines
Poster Session
All posters will be first presented during the relevant WP presentations with so-called elevator pitches. The elevator pitch is a short (30sek.- 2min.) summary talk presenting the main objectives and outcomes of the poster.
The posters are then set up in two separate poster sessions.
- • Posters relevant to the WPs 2 and 4 will be set up for the session 1 on Wednesday 12 November 20:00-21:30.
- • Posters relevant to the WPs 3, 5, 6, 7 and 8 will be set up for the session 2 on Thursday 13 November 18:30-20:00.
All GA participants are expected to be involved in at least one poster, either as a presenting author or a co-author.

PAGE21 Young Researcher Exchange program
- Details
- Created on Tuesday, 22 April 2014 10:49
One of the overall objectives of the PAGE21 project is to train a new generation of permafrost scientists who will bridge the long-standing gap between permafrost field science and global climate modeling. For that purpose the project has fostered several young researcher activities that aim to bring the young scientists together and facilitate interaction and collaboration between institutions and disciplines.
The PAGE21 Young Researchers Exchange Program is one of these activities. It aims to bring about cooperation through YR exchange visits in PAGE21 institutions.
For whom?
All PAGE21 funded PhD students and Post-Doctoral researchers are eligible for the funding.
To where?
Travel to any of the PAGE21 participant institutions.
For what?
The program primarily funds exchange that aims at implementing one or several of the project Deliverables and Milestones. It is intended for individuals, not to fund other initiatives, and can cover travel and accommodation.
When?
Whenever. Just keep in mind that the administrative process at AWI can take up to 4 weeks. Apply timely!
How much?
The maximum amount of funding for one YR for one exchange is 500 €. The final amount will be calculated according to the real costs, but never more than 500€ will be reimbursed. Each YR can apply for three separate exchange visits, but priority will always be given to YRs who are applying for their first visit. The PAGE21 project budget has resources for a total of 20 maximum funded visits.
How to apply?
Send your application (max. 2 pages) to PAGE21 project office (This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.

- Planned exchange (institution, dates, researchers visited)
- Objective of the exchange, especially mention the relevant PAGE21 deliverables and milestones
- Estimated costs of the exchange
- Possible other funding
What happens after the YR is awarded funding?

b. Total costs AND separately costs for travel and accommodation
c. Account number (IBAN and BIC / SWIFT code) for the reimbursement
After the exchange
The reimbursement can be obtained only after the actual exchange, provided that PAGE21 project office is provided with all following information / receipts:
