call for proposals to host CESRA 2019

[Eduard Kontar]

Dear All,

The CESRA Board is currently considering the organization
of its triennial CESRA meeting around June 2019.

We invite proposals to organize this meeting, to be submitted
by September 15, 2017, to the CESRA President.

For background information, please see the previous CESRA
workshops here: http://cesra.net/?page_id=71

Proposals (2 pages) are expected to include the following information:

1) The composition of the local organizers' team and existing experience
in meeting organization;

2) Information about the exact meeting location, meeting dates and their
flexibility,
the meeting venue and its accessibility.
Why do you think the meeting location is attractive?

3) Available infrastructure for the meeting (i.e., main room capabilities,
possible availability of side rooms for Board meetings, space for poster
sessions, etc.);

4) A rough estimate of budgetary balance
(overall meeting cost vs. registration fee + possible sponsorships);

5) CESRA meetings normally attract 70-110 participants in total.
An idea of available lodging (hotels, B&Bs, student dormitories) at
close,
or relatively close, proximity to the meeting location and an estimate
of prices;

6) Your ideas / suggestions / preliminary assessment for getting financial
support for the meeting and for providing financial support to students,
young postdocs, and colleagues from underprivileged countries;

7) A rough idea of a tentative social programme;

8) Any ideas or facilities for outreach or media activities aiming
at increasing the visibility of the meeting at national and
international levels,
and any plans for involving other national groups or individuals with
expertise in solar radio physics;

9) Anything else, beyond the above, that you deem interesting
or notable for the meeting to be organized by your team.

Eduard Kontar
CESRA President
On Behalf of the CESRA Board
