[Eupol] (no subject)

[Jochen Greiner]

Dear all,

this email is intended to start our activities towards an EU proposal in 
the Space2020 framework on polarisation. The call has just been issued a 
few days ago - see
https://ec.europa.eu/info/funding-tenders/opportunities/portal/screen/opportunities/topic-details/space-30-sci-2020
For those of you knowledgable about EU terminology, this is a Research 
and Innovation action [RIA], and the full call label is SPACE-30-SCI-2020.
The deadline for proposal submission is March 5th, 2020.

The call is to "Support the data exploitation of European missions and 
instruments, in conjunction, when relevant, with international missions".
As indicated to most of you already in individual contacts, the idea
would be to look at INTEGRAL (IBIS and SPI) data, and not just GRBs but
all source classes (Crab, Cyg X-1, SGRs etc). 

To get started, I propose a first telecon/skype meeting on Nov. 20th,
15:00-17:00 Central European Time (14:00-16:00 UTC). I will send a rough
agenda in due time.

In order to facilitate easy communication, I have set up a mailing list:
you can send emails to eupol at lists.mpe.mpg.de and presently the following
colleagues would get your message 

        bjoernbiltzinger at gmx.de
	fberlato at mpe.mpg.de
	jburgess at mpe.mpg.de
	jcg at mpe.mpg.de
	Merlin.Kole at unige.ch
	nicolas.produit at unige.ch
	omerbr at tauex.tau.ac.il
	tsiegert at ucsd.edu

@Omer: could you please send the email address of Gal, so I can include her?
@All: just let me know if we should include any further colleagues at this 
stage.

best regards
Jochen
