Funding Proposals
ALPS: An EU FP7 funding proposal to extend the existing SwissEx infrastructure to provide a modular modelling framework, then decompose many of the current environmental process models into process modules for reconfiguration into a user defined model. This was a large scale proposal of 11 M CHF
Swiss Environmental Data and Knowledge Platform: An ETH Competence Center Environment and Sustainability proposal to take the current SwissEx infrastructure, standardise it to international standards and enrich it with domain specific tools. This was a medium size proposal of 4.3 M CHF
eInfrastructures 2014: A small (400kCHF) proposal for a conference.
Two small data entry proposals (100kCHF each).
