Dear colleagues,
At the occasion of a presentation of the European H2020 call for
grants, I started discussing opportunities for Sage with Eugénia
Shadlova (in charge of European projects at Université Paris-Sud) and
Jean-Pierre Caminade (research infrastructure mission in the french
research ministry). From those discussions, it seems a good bet could
be the call EINFRA-9: e-Infrastructure for Virtual Research
Environment. The time line would be a submission in January 2015,
with funding starting 8 month after the submission.
So now is a good time to start thinking about it. This in particular
since the French CNRS INS2I institute is offering support (up to 5000
euros) for preparing such proposals, with an application deadline on
the 21st (this Friday!). This money could be used e.g. to organize a
Sage-Days this year geared toward this grant (and real work too!).
European H2020 calls concern countries in Europe as well as associated
countries and third countries as listed on [1]. Just to mention a
couple where I can think of Sage developers and users from the top of
my head, this includes e.g. Switzerland, Israel, Senegal, or South
Africa.
If you would tentatively be interested in joining as a participant,
PI, or even better lead PI, please get in touch with me at any time,
specifying:
- Name, e-mail
- trac & github account if you have them
- Status, institute (I can derive that from the main page of
trac.sagemath.org if the information there is up to date)
I have setup a git project for this would-be proposal [2]. A mailing
list is coming too. I will add all the participants there so that they
can start editing the information.
The draft of project grew up from previous attempts at the scale of
Sage-Combinat in France; there remains traces which should of course
be cleared. Also other grant opportunities c/should be explored!
(e.g. Paul-Olivier mentioned COST networks). And again: if anyone
feels like taking on / sharing the lead, please!!!
Please forward this to whoever might be interested.
Cheers,
Nicolas
