Contact

The daily coordination committee (DCC) serves as contact for non-VU academic and industrial users requesting access to NIGeL. The DCC is responsible for evaluation, ranking and allocation of requests. Requests for analytical capabilities and potential access should be made directly to the relevant DCC contact :

The Daily Coordination Committee composes the following members:

Dr Pieter Vroon: (Chair DCC)	Email: p.z.vroon@vu.nl    Tel. 0205987404

Dr Lisette Kootker	Email: lisette.kootker@vu.nl  Tel. +31205987291
Bioarchaeologist, specialised in isotope archaeology (mobility and diet) and forensics, with strong links to commercial archaeology companies and local forensic and government agencies.
Dr Jason Laffoon:	j.e.laffoon@arch.leidenuniv.nl Tel. +31715277015

After initial discussion to evaluate the technical requirements of the project, a short project proposal maybe requested. This proposal (max 1 page A4) will need to include:

the main science goals

rock types (materials) for analysis

isotopic systems required

any known technical challenges

personnel available to undertake the work (if applicable)

indication of available finances

publication and outreach plan.
