Dear dm-l'ers,

yesterday we had a meeting at IMC in Leeds where we discussed the future of DM and were looking for perspectives. Therefore I forward an email with a call for proposals concerning Research Conferences. I know 2008 is far from today but maybe we could try to get some money to have a meeting from this source and bring people of our field together? I would be definitely interested in such a meeting and willing to help with the application procedure.

A possible topic of a meeting could be the text-image-relation for which we see many projects ongoing at the moment.

Best, Torsten

Call for Proposals - ESF Research Conferences 2008

The ESF Research Conferences Scheme is a high-level conference programme in partnership with national and international organizations, including universities. The Scheme provides the opportunity for the world’s leading scientists and other participants, including young researchers, to meet in an informal setting for discussions at the highest level on the most recent developments in their fields of research. Furthermore, it acts as a catalyst for creating new synergistic contacts throughout Europe and the rest of the world. The conferences may be series or single events. They will be interdisciplinary when appropriate. The duration will normally be four or five days and up to 150 invited speakers and participants may attend.

The Scheme now includes a number of partnerships between ESF and other organizations (see http://www.esf.org/conferences).

The present Call is supported by ESF and: European Molecular Biology Organization (EMBO) (ESF-EMBO Symposia in Biology at the Interface with Other Science Disciplines); Linköping University (LiU) (ESF-LiU Conferences in the Humanities and Social Sciences); Fonds zur Förderung der wissenschaftlichen Forschung in Österreich (FWF), in partnership with the Leopold-Franzens-Universität Innsbruck (LFUI) (Conferences in Physics/Biophysics and Environmental Sciences).

A Call for Proposals is now open in the following scientific disciplines for conferences to take place in 2008:

Biology+ (Biology at the Interface with Other Science Disciplines)

Environmental Sciences

Physics/Biophysics

Social Sciences

Humanities

The Call is addressed to leading European scientists for conferences to take place in Europe.

Deadline for on-line submission of proposals: 2 October 2006 (midnight CET)

For further information, please consult http://www.esf.org/conferences/Proposals2008 or address your queries to Ms. Caroline Hirst, ESF Research Conferences Head of Unit, through conferences-proposals@esf.org.
