[OSGeo-Edu] Academic Event

[Massimiliano Cannata]

Dear all,
once I came across Swiss founds for international workshops.
They can be requested for investigating and developing high level research
topics.
I can take a deeper look at it, probably with the aim of developing a COST
action it would be possible to get the grant...

"The International Exploratory Workshops of the Swiss National Science
Foundation (SNSF) allow for researchers working in Switzerland to organize
workshops with partners from abroad. The workshops can last between two
and five days. Up to 30 participants from different institutions can
participate. However, the SNSF will fund a maximum of ten researchers. The
seminar is to take place in Switzerland, but exceptions can be granted if
justified."

The next call is in March 2012

What do you think?
If you help me in set up the required docs We (interested research bodies)
could give a try...

> Dear all,
>
> Rosa has been looking for different funding options to host the
> Academic/Edu meeting here in Girona next March and it seems that it's not
> easy.
>
> Here it goes a short summary:
>
> *1/ COST provides financial support for cooperation efforts of scientific
> groups across Europe and the coordination of these research networks called
> “Actions”. The support will cover the costs of networking activities such as
> meetings (e.g. travel, subsistence, local organiser support), conferences,
> workshops, short-term scientific exchanges, training schools, publications
> and dissemination activities. COST does not fund the research itself.
>
> As Ari suggested, the proposal submission is a two steps process: a) Submit
> a short proposal before March 30th 2012, and then a long proposal before
> July 27h.
>
> Final resolution will be December 5th 2012
>
> *2/ LIFELONG LEARNING PROGRAM (KA3 ICT MULTILATERAL NETWORKS): Page129 on
> http://ec.europa.eu/education/llp/doc/call12/fiches_en.pdf and
> http://eacea.ec.europa.eu/llp/ka3/ict_multilateral_networks_en.php
>
> As you can see, the deadline is March 1st 2012, and the resolution is June
> 2012.
>
> The problem with this two different funding programs (COST & LifeLong
> Learning...) is that they are good to organize a meeting in 2013, but not
> for 2012. [image: :|]
>
> I don't know if there are any other options for funding a meeting in 2012.
> Anybody knows? If we don't have funds I believe that it's not so easy to
> move persons across Europe, coming from different universities and research
> institutions.
>
> Otherwise, maybe we can plan a «working meeting» in Girona (March 2012) in
> order to share ideas and experiences and to work together to choose a
> funding program, and start to work to organize a Edu-meeting in 2013 (scope,
> needs, actions, attendants, workshops, ...) and to get the real interest for
> a meeting like that, and to know who really wants to be involved... Even
> without a funding program, universities and institutions can be able to send
> a delegate for one or two days in Girona in order to attend a « preparatory
> working meeting». Then we can share and present this project during the
> Spanish foss4g meeting (Jornadas de SIG Libre).
>
> This are just some ideas [image: :)]
>
> What do you think? Please, let me know your thoughts...

> 2) Tyler's question of nailing down a date.
>
>
> +1 for doing the events in sequence (EU-March, US-May) rather than in
> parallel.
>
>
> See if we can get funds for some cross-participation and we figure out how
> to build from the March event in May.
>
>
> 3) More relatively soon on a virtual meeting to plan. I think Phil is
> crunching on a his proposal which may have the idea of a May workshop in it
> but Phil, when you are ready let's discuss the virtual meeting logistics and
> plan for early November.
>
>
> 4) Our next step is maybe to try and work on virtual meeting topics. I've
> tried to start this on the wiki page above. Please add ideas, colleagues!

>
> Great to see this energy. One goal I know we have is to have some kind of
> educational deliverable for FOSS4G next year to compliment the LiveDVD.
