The first Call for Transnational Access (TNA) of JERICO NEXT ended with the meeting of the Selection Panel which was held in Bordeaux, France, on September 7, 2016. The meeting was kindly hosted by the University of Bordeaux at the Campus Talence Pessac Gradignan.

Six out of twelve submitted TNA projects were selected and will be supported by JERICO NEXT. The six projects are listed in Table 1, with the facilities they will have access to. The signature of TNA agreements is in progress, and the projects will start before the end of this year.

The next TNA task is the preparation and opening of the second call, which will be anticipated compared to the original program to 20 February 2017.
