The outcome of the SPP-1889 SeaLevel Evaluation Colloquium for the 2nd phase
The SPP-1889 SeaLevel program is already undegoing its last year of the 1st phase, which will officially end in June 2019 when the program will enter its 2nd funding phase for another 3-year period.
The Evaluation Colloquium of SPP-1889 SeaLevel for the 2nd funding phase, organized by the German Research Foundation (DFG) and hosted by the SPP-1889 Coordination in Hamburg, took place on 19-20 March in the Institute of Oceanography, University Hamburg. During the Evaluation Colloquium, the applicants presented their project proposals in a poster session during which the 12-member Experts Committee and the DFG Representative Dr. Daniel Weymann, had the opportunity to discuss with the applicants, ask questions and thus get a thorough insight of the proposed projects before their final decision. As result of the review process 15 proposals were recommended for funding during the second phase.
The 2nd phase of the SPP-1889 SeaLevel will officially start on 1st July 2019. Nevertheless, several projects from the 1st phase will continue in a cost-neutral way several months beyond the official end of the 1st phase to complete their research work from the 1st phase.
