EU ARI WAB (2002-2004)

«EU ARI WAB» is the acronym for the «Transnational access to European Research Infrastructure Wittgenstein Archives at the University of Bergen» programme, which ran from 1 January 2002 to 31 August 2004. EU ARI WAB was regulated by a contract signed with the European Commission within the framework of the European Community's 5th Framework Programme Improving the Human Research Potential and the Socio-economic Knowledge Base: Access to Research Infrastructures (ARI) (contract no: HPRI-CT-2001-00161). EU ARI WAB was initiated by Alois Pichler (WAB, AKSIS (since 2009 "Uni Digital") ) and the University of Bergen Office of International Relations.

Funding of research projects through EU ARI WAB was subject to application and selection procedures. Proposals were reviewed by an independent User Selection Panel, which made its selection on the basis of scientific merit, while taking into account the interests of the European Community and of the Transnational Access to European Research Infrastructures programme.

Only researchers and research groups conducting their research in the member states of the European Union and the Associated States (for this contract: Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, the Republic of Cyprus, Estonia, Hungary, Iceland, Israel, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Malta, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia) were eligible to benefit under the EU ARI WAB contract. Researchers and research groups conducting their research in Norway were not eligible to benefit under the contract.

The EU ARI WAB programme was announced at conferences, via email-lists, on WAB's web-site, in the journals «The Monist» and «Literary & Linguistic Computing», and via individually targeted communications.
