Dear all,

 

Join the rhythm, use the Window of Opportunity of the ‘World This-or-that Days’!

 

The UN and the EU (and other international organisations) chose a number of dates to pay special attention to certain topics; for instance, the World Day on Deforestation, on Draughts (June 17th). There are many more.

 

Brought together, these dates create a wonderful time table and a rhythm that can be used in coordinated developing, planning, cooperating and presenting results of research programmes. Thus creating focus and mass in research that is unprecedented.

 

It is only a opportunity and everybody is free to step in and use the momentum. As on those days, all organisations and persons of significance in the field and topic are present. Whether active in research, research policy, funds or finance. Each of them bringing or getting something to the conferences, workshops, side or parallel sessions and the main events. And the spot lights of the world are free too!

 

Want to see the time table? OK

 

 

Beste alle,

 

Gebruik het ritme,  het ‘momentum’ van de Wereld zus/zo Dagen !

 

De VN en de EU hebben een aantal dagen uitgeroepen om speciale aandacht te schenken aan bepaalde onderwerpen; bijvoorbeeld, 17 juni als Werelddag over ontbossing of droogte. Er zijn er veel meer.

 

 

Al deze data op een rij, biedt een praktische tijdlijn om gecoördineerd onderzoeksprogramma’s te ontwikkelen, planning, samenwerking en de resultaten ervan te presenten. Op deze manier ontstaat er een onnavolgbare focus en massa in onderzoek.

 

 

Het is slechts een kans en iedereen is vrij om mee te doen en gebruik te maken van het moment. Op die dagen zijn alle organisaties en personen die iets betekenen in dat veld of onderwerp aanwezig. Of ze nou actief zijn in onderzoek, in onderzoeksbeleid, in -fondsen of -financiering. Ieder van hen wil iets halen of toevoegen bij al die workshops, parallelsessies en hoofdgebeurtenissen. En de ‘spot lights’ van de wereld zijn er gratis bij.

 

De tijdlijn zien? OK

Previous yet permanent messages and proceedings

 

Message since March 22th, 2004

Addressed are:

researchers & CEO's of research organisations

 

Dear all,

 

Word came that many research funds yearly are NOT exhausted in full.

 

There is only one remedy for that, isn’t there?

 

See: http://www.bjernv.dds.nl/FUNDS.html

 

It would be nice of course if fund organisations made the degree of depletion public (as well as the degree of over asking the fund):

depleted  XXXXXXVVVV available funds; over asked by 0%

 

Sincerely,

B.

 

 

 

Beste alle,

 

Een bericht meldde dat veel onderzoekssubsidies jaarlijks niet volledig uitgeput worden.

 

Daar is een remedie voor, niet waar?

 

Zie: http://www.bjernv.dds.nl/FUNDS.html

 

Het zou nuttig zijn als de fondsen de mate van uitputting en overvraging zouden melden:

uitputting XXXXXXVVVV beschikbare fondsen, overvraagd met 0%.

 

Groet,

B.

 

 

Message since May 25th, 2003;

Addressed are:

webmasters & CEO's of research funding organisations

 

Word came that researchers have a hard time finding funds; where, when, what and how is there a call for proposals open?

 

Message: please

·        name your web page with the overview of funds default: www. xxx.xx/FUNDS.html

·        use a user friendly presentation / query mode.

 

Some real life examples of good practice are:

http://ted.publications.eu.int/CD/application/pif/resources/shtml/common/home/hoe.html

 

http://www.nwo.nl/subsidiewijzer.nsf/pages/NWOP_5VEJ4M_Eng

 

 

Een bericht meldde dat onderzoekers het moeilijk hebben om snel onderzoeksfondsen te vinden; wanneer, wat, waar en hoe staat er een ‘call’ open?

 

Bericht: gebruik svp

·        standaard www. xxx.xx/FUNDS.html als web-pagina voor uw fondsoverzicht

·        een gebuikersvriendelijke presentatie of zoekroutine

 

Voorbeelden van goed praktijk:
