Description
To be able to have more impact GREATLEAP opens a Call for Thematic Workshop proposals to officially co-organise events. This call is open for scholars who would like to organise workshops on topics that are important in achieving the objectives of our COST-Action. In general they should aim to achieve more understanding about long-term/historical inequality in health by studying cause-specific mortality. See for more information also: https://greatleap.eu/ or for examples the IUSSP Workshops that we are already co-organising.
Contribution
Next to offering support by co-organising the event, we can contribute a maximum of 5.000 euro for each workshop that is accepted. This contribution should be seen as kind of ‘seed-funding’: funding to start-up a workshop, but often not sufficient to fully organise it. ITC countries are given priority. This funding can be provided in three ways through the e-COST portal:
(1). A Local Organiser Support Grant paid to the organising institute: it covers the costs for the rental of (conference) rooms, refreshments, printing and so on. Please see the next page for specifics.
(2). Travel and a Daily Allowance paid directly to (some of) the participants: All travel costs are covered, and the daily allowance intends to cover expenses related to accommodation, meals, and/or short distance travel (defined as less or equal to 100 km one way). Click here for information on the maximum daily allowance for each country. Be aware it is possible to allocate a lower daily allowance to participants to be able to invite more scholars.
(3). A combination of (1) and (2).
