19-Dec-07 INSPIRE: Request for Experts
ANNOUNCEMENT 
REQUEST FOR INTERESTED EXPERTS (INCLUDING RENUMERATION ACCORDING TO COMMISSION RULES) 
SUBJECT: TECHNICAL SUPPORT FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF INSPIRE IMPLEMENTING RULES LAYING DOWN TECHNICAL ARRANGEMENTS FOR THE INTEROPERABILITY AND, WHERE PRACTICABLE, HARMONISATION OF SPATIAL DATA SETS AND SERVICES. 
The INSPIRE Team announces that it will use the list of independent experts of the Seventh Framework Programme for Research for the selection of individuals in support of the development of INSPIRE Implementing Rules laying down technical arrangements for the interoperability and, where practicable, harmonisation of spatial data sets and services. 
The INSPIRE Team envisages technical support from a maximum of 16 experts for tasks that are outlined in the document referenced below, in the field of the Annex I spatial data themes (in particular, for Coordinate reference systems, Geographical grid systems, Geographical names, Administrative units, Addresses, Cadastral parcels, Transport networks, Hydrography, and Protected sites). 
For each expert the work will cover a maximum of 30 days over a period of 12 months; this maximum of 30 days will be implemented with contracts of shorter duration. It is anticipated that the work will start in early February 2008. The fee paid to selected experts is 450 Euro per day. Any travel or accommodation expenses made for meetings in the framework of the tasks will be reimbursed separately according to the applicable rules and conditions. 
More information is available at http://www.ec-gis.org/inspire/reports/INSPIRE-Request-for-Interested-Experts.pdf 
Experts can register in the database at the following website: 
https://cordis.europa.eu/emmfp7/ 
Experts are encouraged to indicate that they are available as a reviewer, to use as freestyle keywords the term “INSPIRE spatial data harmonisation”, and to send to inspire-info at jrc.cec.eu.int the registration number that they receive. 
The INSPIRE Team will be selecting the experts on 15th January 2008.
