\section{Travel funds for European\newline
 astronomers}


The European Framework Programme 6 (FP~6) which includes the RadioNet
initiative has come to an end in 2008. In FP~7, a new RadioNet
initiative has been accepted in which IRAM is 
involved with its two Observatories. 
A  budget similar to the 2004 -- 2008 period will be available for
supporting travel by European 
astronomers through the Trans National Access (TNA) Programme.

As before, travel may be supported to the 30m telescope and to
Grenoble for reduction of interferometer data. Detailed information 
about the eligibility, TNA contacts, policies, and travel claims
can be found on the  
\htmladdnormallink{RadioNet home page}{http://www.radionet-eu.org} 
at {\tt http://www.radionet-eu.org}.
The Principal Investigators of  IRAM proposals eligible for TNA
funding will be contacted as soon as the new Radionet programme has
officially started and the corresponding funds are available.
