During the last CESRA workshop, many of you felt that we need to
have CESRA workshops more often and we decided to have next
workshop in 2025, i.e. in two years.
Hence, this is the call for proposal to host next CESRA workshop
around June/July 2025.
We invite proposals to organize this major solar radio astronomy
workshop,
to be submitted by email before November 30, 2023, to the CESRA
President (cc to CESRA Board Secretary).
For background information, please see the previous CESRA
workshops here: http://cesra.net/?page_id=71
CESRA workshops normally attract 70-110 participants.
Proposals (not more than 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 meeting location, approx meeting dates
and their flexibility,
the meeting venue and its accessibility.
Why do you think the meeting location is attractive to CESRA
members?
3) Available infrastructure for the meeting
(i.e., main room capabilities, availability of splinter rooms for
working groups,
space for poster sessions, etc.);
4) A rough estimate of budgetary balance
(overall meeting cost vs. registration fee + possible
sponsorships);
5) 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.
