Scope |
Bring
disciplines (and possibly technologies) together
Bottom-up
Multi-disciplinary (distant areas in plant science; plant science
and other science disciplines) -> crossing borders between
disciplines; bring scientists together who normally would not work
together; sharing of know-how and resources; identify future joint
R&D activities. |
Submission of proposals |
Scientists are invited to submit an outline for a workshop they
would like to organise.

to submit a proposal.
Deadline for submitting a workshop for 2009 is 1 December
2008.
The EPSO board makes the final selection. |
Organizers |
Each
workshop can have 1-3 organiser(s) |
Speakers |
Participants/speakers by invitation only, all expenses covered
The organisers submit a list of invited speakers who would be
prepared to give talks if the workshop would be approved.
The organisers should bring visionary scientists together from only
partly overlapping disciplines where collaborations would provide
new frontiers in science and stimulate new interactions on the
subjects discussed. |
Participants |
Max 40 participants (incl. organisers, speakers), all by invitation
only |
Duration |
2 days |
Public information & Outcome |
Organiser to write a white paper for EPSO
Abstract book, can be put online if wanted
Participants complete a questionnaire at the end of the workshop |
Financing |
Experience shows that workshop costs typically amount to about 20 000EUR. The maximum support provided by EPSO is 5 000EUR, therefore EPSO encourages workshop organisers to find financial support for the workshop. Should they not have other support, EPSO ask workshop organisers to submit a proposal to ESF Exploratory Workshops to finance most of the workshop costs. Next deadline: 29 April 2008.

Number of workshops per year |
In a first phase we will have two workshops in the
year when there is no EPSO conference and only one in the year when
there is an EPSO conference.
At a later stage more workshops per year might be organized.
|
Venue |
EPSO would appreciate opportunities to a fixed location to hold its
workshops. |
