What is the European Contribution to EARTHTIME ?

The purpose of this initiative is to form a European platform of researchers working on both the development and the application of high-resolution Time Scales in the Earth Sciences. In the context of this ambition a first step was made by hosting an ESF sponsored Exploratory Workshop in April 2007 in Amsterdam. This workshop resulted in the submission of a proposal for an ITN, “GTSnext”, to the EU 7th Framework Program in September 2007 (which has been funded and started in September 2008), and a proposal for the ESF Research Network ‘EARTHTIME-EU’ was submitted in response to the ESF-RNP call of October 2008.

The network will complement the EARTHTIME initiative that is funded by the National Science Foundation, USA. Scientists from other countries will participate sponsored by their national funding agencies respectively in Canada, Australia and China.

The 7th Framework Marie Curie Initial Training Network GTSnext contains 9 PhD and 3 Post-Doc positions. Click here for more information.
