• Applicants: Professor Dr. Joachim Curtius; Dr.-Ing. Mirko Scheinert; Professor Dr. Manfred Wendisch
• Subject Area: Atmospheric Science
• Term: from 2010 to 2021
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 179953493

Funds for the central coordination of SPP 1294 HALO are requested within this proposal. The project serves most of all the promotion of cooperation and communication among the individual scientific projects of the SPP. An annual status seminar as well as topical workshops are organized and conducted within this project. The coordinators represent the SPP via the DFG, the scientific steering committee of HALO (WLA), the HALO project team of the German Aerospace Center (DLR) and the public. The funds for measures to promote gender equality are managed and measures for training of young researchers are coordinated. Within the project special sessions at international conferences or publication of special issues are initiated. An SPP web page is set up and maintained. To support the coordinators in conducting these tasks, staffing for a half-time position of a scientific administrator is applied for.
