\section{Travel funds for European astronomers}

IRAM is one of the organizations partipating in the RadioNet project,
an initiative funded by the European Commission within the FP6
Programme to improve and encourage communication among astronomers of
the European Community and associated countries. Transnational access 
(TNA) is the largest RadioNet programme and provides %fundings 
funding for travel expenses incurred
by eligible users for carrying out their observations or reducing
their data. As a partner of RadioNet, IRAM has now some limited 
TNA funds to pay
travel expenses for eligible users. Detailed information %to user
about user eligibility, TNA contacts, policies and travel claims 
for the IRAM 30m
telescope and Plateau de Bure Interferometer can be found on the
RadioNet home page at {\tt http://www.radionet-eu.org}.

Observers requesting TNA support will be asked to provide the
necessary personal and professional information to IRAM. 
Funding through RadioNet should be acknowledged in publications 
resulting from TNA supported observations.
