From 1 January 2009, the Governor of Svalbard will alter several
routines and demands concerning permission application for scientific
field work in Svalbard.
The Governor of Svalbard has last week send out letters to research
institutions active in Svalbard in order to inform about changes in the
routines when considering applications for permission of scientific
field work in Svalbard. The main changes are:
 |
Projects and researchers involved in field
work will have to be registered in the
RiS-database PRIOR to the application to the Governor. The
applications will only be handled if they contain the RiS-ID of the
project. |
|
|
Researchers will have to fill in the travel notification for visiting
scientists when operating outside
management area 10. |
|
|
Rules have changed concerning handling and storage in the field of equipment,
provisions and fuel depots. |
For more information, please read the documents that where send out
by the Governor of Svalbard (download below).
New web based application guide for scientists
The Govenor of Svalbard has ambitions to establish an operative web
based guide on
www.sysselmannen.no within 1 February 2009. It will give
instructions on relevant questions, legislation and frameworks in
relation to scientific field work in Svalbard. This guide will replace
the current
checklist for research planning on the SSF webpage.
