Corrigendum on high level scientific conferences announced for FP5 call for proposals
The European Commission has published a corrigendum to its call for proposals under the Fifth Framework Programme's 'Human research potential and the socio-economic knowledge base' programme of 16 March 1999. The changes relate to the organisation of high level scientific conferences. Four categories of high level scientific conferences are eligible for support, as well as a series of events. The four categories now read: - EuroConferences - bringing together established scientists and young researchers with the objective of contributing to the advancement of science and to the training of young researchers. These conferences would normally last for up to seven days and bring together up to 150 participants. - EuroCourses - workshops and summer schools providing opportunities for established scientists to impart their knowledge and experience to the younger generation of European researchers. These events would normally last up to a maximum of 30 days and bring together up to 50 participants (for courses and workshops) or 150 participants (for summer schools) respectively. - Large conferences - involving more than 150 participants. - Non-traditional conferences such as virtual conferences or PhD conferences organised by the younger generation of researchers for their peers.The new version of the 'Manual of proposal evaluation procedures' can be obtained from the following web address: http://cordis.europa.eu/fp5/src/evalman.htm(opens in new window)
