+THEMIS 2020 observing campaign will take place approximately **from May 15th to Nov 15th** 2020 for about 100 days. Incoming information or confirmation will be posted here and on the front page as soon as it becomes available. We encourage everyone to apply.
+**Rules of access**\\
+Use of the THEMIS telescope is granted by rights to the French and
+Spanish partners, but also to the European and international community
+under the SOLARNET''(1)'' and CCI-ITP time allocation mechanisms.
+The International Scientific Committee (CCI) overseeing the Canary Islands telescopes awards observing time through its International Time Program (ITP).\\ SOLARNET does offer observing time under its transnational ACCESS program in
+. For SOLARNET, some preference is given to from new users, young researchers, and users from countries with no similar research infrastructures. Proposals for ITP and SOLARNET time are both allocated by the EAST-TAC, a joint European time allocation committee of the European Association for Solar Telescopes, and share the same deadline and procedure.
+   * Applicants to "French time": 75% of the campaign,about 75 days in 2019. French users must take care of their travel and subsistence expenses.
+      * As a EU or associated state member, you can apply to the same french time within the [[https://solarnet-project.eu/Transnational-Access-and-Service-Programme-TAS| SOLARNET/Trans National Access]] program. Note that the PI and at least half the Co-I's must have affiliations in other countries than France or Spain. There is a limited quota available for proposals from scientists outside EU and associated states. The SOLARNET/Access program offers travel and subsistence (T&S) grants for the observing run.
+   * Applicants to "Spanish time": 20% of the campaign, 20 days for 2020.
