* ESSLLI 98 NOVELTY *
For the first time the European Summer School in Logic,
Language and Information to be held from August 17 - 28,
1998 in Saarbruecken, Germany, offers a special EU workshop:
"Preparation and Management of EU-Funded Projects"
Transnational R&D funded by the European Commission has
become one of the foremost sources for advanced technology
and application development in information technology.
For the participating research centers such projects offer
a unique opportunity for joint R&D in international
consortia bringing together partners from industry, academia,
contract research, and public administration.
Our workshop will provide the participants
with information, advice and guidelines for the
definition, application and management of EU-projects,
both on the administrative and technical level.
We will discuss concrete questions concerning available
funding programmes, hints for finding or building consortia,
advice on the structuring of projects, rules for handling
many types of forms, and an overview of relevant financial
regulations.
A special section will be dedicated to a preview of upcoming
opportunities and challenges in the Fifth Framework Program
(first call for proposals in January 1999).
The speakers of the workshop are highly experienced
managers of EU-projects and a representative of the EU
Language Engineering Programme, Giovanni B. Varile,
DG XIII of the European Commission.
There is NO EXTRA CHARGE for this workshop once you have
registered for ESSLLI 98.
