ESF RESEARCH CONFERENCES
2007 Call for Proposals
The
ESF Research Conferences Scheme ( www.esf.org/conferences ) provides the opportunity for leading scientists and younger researchers to meet for discussions on the most recent developments in their fields of research. It acts as a catalyst for creating new contacts throughout Europe and the rest of the world. It develops principally through the establishment of long-term partnerships between the ESF and national and international organisations, including universities.
ESF Research Conferences are open to scientists world-wide, whether from academia or industry. Conferences may be single events, or series, usually with a biennial meeting focusing on specific aspects of the same general topic. Conferences generally last for four or five days and up to 150 participants and invited speakers may attend.
The European Science Foundation now invites proposals for conferences to be held in
2008 and 2009. The Call is addressed to leading European scientists for conferences to take place in Europe.
CALL FOR PROPOSALS – 2009 CONFERENCES
The following scientific areas will be covered by the Call: * Biology at the Interface with Other Science Disciplines (ESFEMBO Symposia) * Physics/Biophysics and Environmental Sciences (ESF-FWF Conferences in Partnership with LFUI) * Social Sciences and Humanities (ESF-LiU Conferences) * Global Change Research (ESF-VR-FORMAS Conferences)
The Proposals will be evaluated through international Peer Review for which Referees will be nominated by the appropriate ESF Scientific Committees. The final assessment and selection of topics, on the basis of three written reviews, will be made jointly by the Partner Organisations through a Review Panel composed of members of the ESF Scientific Committees and scientists nominated by the Partner Organisations.
* Closing Date for on-line Submission:
Monday 1 October 2007 (midnight CET)
CALL FOR PROPOSALS – 2008 CONFERENCES
A second Call is also open for conferences to take place in 2008 in the field of Mathematics. A maximum of three proposals will be selected within the framework of the new partnership established with the Ministry of Science and Higher Education Poland (MSHE) and the Institute of Mathematics of the Polish Academy of Sciences (PAN). The proposals will be assessed by the three Partner Organisations.
* Closing Date for on-line Submission:
Saturday 15 September 2007 (midnight CET)
