Pelagios Commons Resource Grants - Call for Proposals

[Timothy Hill]

Dear all,

As a member of the Europeana Researcg & Development team and coordinator of the Linked Pasts Special Interest Group (SIG), I would like to announce the following Call For Proposals in application for Pelagios Commons Resource Grants.

Pelagios Commons invites proposals for short self-contained projects that develop resources
that assist in the process of semantically annotating place references in online materials.
Resources may be of any kind ­ including but not restricted to software, gazetteers and
digitization of relevant non­digital materials ­ as long as they are re­useable in multiple contexts
and made freely available. Submissions will be judged and selected by the Pelagios Commons
Committee on the basis of maximizing benefit to the widest range of Pelagios stakeholders.
£15,000 is available overall.

For details of the grants and the procedure for submitting proposals, please consult the full text of the Call (http://commons.pelagios.org/docs/pelagios-commons-resource-development-grant/?bp-attachment=PelagiosCommonsResourceDevelopmentCall.pdf)

Note in particular:

• the deadline for proposals is 17th June 2016
• development must be complete by 30 November 2016 at the latest
• the maximum amount for any one award is 5 000 pounds
• applicants must be registered with and participants in at least one Pelagios Commons SIG

If you have any questions, please get in touch, either through the email address given in the particulars, or via Pelagios Commons (http://commons.pelagios.org/).

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Dr. Timothy Hill,
