General information
The mobile Finnish Seismic Instrument Pool FINNSIP is a part of the overall Research infrastructure project. It provides instruments for seismological (both controlled source and earthquake seismology) experiments of the consortium parties.
The instrument pool is being built over the time period of 2021-2024. The usage of the instrument pool is allocated via an application process and only projects involving at least one of the consortium parties are considered. The Steering Group evaluates the applications for instruments and makes decisions on the time allocations.
Pool coordinator
The University of Helsinki hosts and coordinates the mobile Finnish Seismic Instrument Pool FINNSIP. The Coordinator is responsible for communicating and implementing the decisions of about the progress of the buildup and usage of the instrument pool, and informing the Steering Group about any issues related to the pool operations or the instruments.

Principles of Operation
The mobile Finnish Seismic Instrument Pool FINNSIP Principles of Operation (PoO) are meant for practical purposes to aid the application procedures and operations of The mobile Finnish Seismic Instrument Pool FINNSIP. The principles of operation are based on but not overruling the Consortium Agreement or its Appendices. The principles have been drafted using the Geophysical Instrument Pool Potsdam (GIPP) of the Helmholtz-Zentrum Potsdam, Deutsches GeoForschungsZentrum (GFZ) Terms of Use as a reference.
After a positive decision of the Steering Group, the user(s) and the owners of the instruments conclude a User’s Agreement to agree on the liabilities, rights, risk allocation, user fees and other responsibilities resulting from the usage of the instruments:
