Winter is also the time for planning for upcoming field work. At Grimsö, plans to start the sampling for the LIFEPLAN project, along with other SITES stations, is already underway.
The SITES Secretariat, SITES Station Directors and a selected core writing group of Swedish researchers in ecosystem science, are currently busy preparing an application for the 3rd phase of SITES funding (starting in 2023). The Swedish Research Council has opened a call for grants to research infrastructures of national interest.
Research infrastructures, like SITES and its research stations, are crucial to support the national and international research community with long-term, high quality monitoring data, especially in a warming climate. Advanced user support and mobilization of SITES data are therefore central components in the application. Exciting ideas and new plans to increase our engagement with a broad user community are part of the potential new funding period.
Keep your fingers crossed that it will be a successful application!
