[okfn-coord] [Fwd: [Communia-members] CALL FOR PROPOSALS: March 2009 Workshop (deadline: 05.IX.2008)]

Thu Jul 24 13:56:07 UTC 2008

I propose we apply to put on a workshop. Perhaps on public domain/open 
resource discovery?

It would also be great if it could be arranged to have this on a Sunday, 
with OKCon on the Saturday!

Dear All,

I would like to open the call for
proposals for the March 2009
COMMUNIA workshop.

Proposals must be sent to

coordinator [at] communia-project [dot] eu

by Friday, 5 September 2008.

Please use the standard proposal template
that you find in the official call
for proposals (see below).

In the interest of diversity, I would strongly
discourage proposals coming from venues that have already
organized - or are organizing - COMMUNIA events.

All members, but members-elect in particular,
should remember that the main document describing
the COMMUNIA project and our commintments
with the EU is the so-called
"Description of Work" (DoW),
which can be found at:
http://nexa.polito.it/communia/files/COMMUNIA-Annex-I-to-the-grant-agreement.pdf

Please read it carefully (note:
it is much shorter than it seems at first).

Other COMMUNIA documents, including
the official rules on reimbursements,
are available here:
http://nexa.polito.it/communia/-

Thank you, best,

juan carlos

+++  CALL FOR PROPOSALS FOR THE MARCH 2009 WORKSHOP   +++
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Please send to:

an e-mail by 28 March 2008, with the subject
"Proposal for COMMUNIA workshop of March 2009",
including in your message:

1. Title of the Workshop;
2. Abstract of the Workshop: topic to be addressed, how, etc.;
3. Brief explanation of why the topic is relevant and timely for
    COMMUNIA;
4. Description of the workshop venue;
5. Expected attendance (e.g., based on previous experiences by the
    organizers);
6. Names and short bios of the members of organizing team; please
    emphasize any previous direct experiences organizing
    workshop/conferences/events;
7. Proposed budget, with a break-down of the main costs;
8. Proposed workshop program: rough organization of the day (i.e.,
    session topics);
9. Any another information that might strengthen the proposal, e.g.,
    how well the city or the venue are connected with the rest of
    Europe, potential synergies with other events immediately
    before/after in the same city/region, etc.

Each organisation may submit only one workshop proposal
for the March 2009 slot.

PLEASE BE AWARE that, according to the DoW, we have committed, for the
second year of COMMUNIA, to attract an audience of at least 65 persons
to the Workshops. This should not be too much of a problem, but still
please do keep it in mind, since we will be evaluated against that
number.

ALSO PLEASE BE AWARE that, always according to the DoW, we have
committed, for the second year of COMMUNIA, to attract 12
contributions (papers, article, presentations) in response to our
Workshop calls. Again, it should not too much of a problem, but still
keep it in mind.

The Workshop must be clearly presented to the public
as a COMMUNIA Workshop.

Each COMMUNIA Workshop may count on an overall budget of
EUR 10.000; payments will be _handled directly by the Coordinator_,
as well as the travel of out-of-town speakers (if any).

The Organizer may seek other funds from governments, scientific
organizations, foundations, and similar non-for-profit entities.

Sponsorships (if any) must be previously approved by the Coordinator.
