Subject: Call for proposals to host FOSTER training events on open
access, open data and open science
*Training for Open Science in Europe -- get involved!
*http://www.fosteropenscience.eu/training-call-2014/
*Call for proposals to host FOSTER training events on open access,
open data and open science*
The FOSTER project (Facilitate Open Science Training for European
Research, http://www.fosteropenscience.eu/) aims to support different
stakeholders, especially young researchers, in practicing open access,
open data sharing and open science. FOSTER will support community
training actions via two annual open calls for events. The first call
is issued in February 2014 for events in June -- December 2014, and
the second call will be issued in October 2014 for events in 2015.
Do you feel you can effectively train on open science topics? Can you
make a difference? We are now inviting proposals to host FOSTER
training events on open access, open data and open science to be held
from June to December 2014. FOSTER will provide limited co-funding for
events. With your help we want to organize both engaging and
instructive events that reach out to diverse disciplinary communities
and countries in the European Research Area.
We are looking to support different types of training events and
strategies, ranging from short (one or two-hour) workshops, through to
summer schools. Some examples of the training formats and content that
we would like to support:
* Training targeting graduate schools in European universities, e.g.
summer schools, seminars, etc.
* Courses for trainers/multipliers who can carry on further training
and dissemination activities within their institutions, countries
and/or disciplinary communities.
* Workshops for researchers participating in community/disciplinary
conferences.
* Training in compliance with the open access policies and rules of
participation set out for Horizon 2020.
* Training in integrating open access and open data principles and
practices in the current research work-flow by targeting young
researchers.
* Training targeting one of the stakeholders -- academic staff
(researchers and students), institutions (research administrators,
librarians), research project managers, policy-makers and staff
working in funding bodies.
*FOSTER support*
FOSTER will provide assistance in shaping the training programme,
selecting training materials and speakers/trainers, etc. Co-funding
for the events will also be provided (such as cost of the venue,
materials, travel of speakers, etc.).
*How to apply and a deadline*
1. Describe the training goals, target audiences, budget needed and
any co-funding offered. Please fill in the application form which can
be downloaded here:
http://www.fosteropenscience.eu/form/training/FOSTER_Training_proposal_form.doc
2. Please submit your training application *no later than Monday, 17
March 2014* here: http://www.fosteropenscience.eu/form/training/.
3. If you have any have technical problems, you can email your
training application to iryna.kuchma[@]eifl.net <http://eifl.net>
*Who can apply?*
Organisations from the European Research Area are eligible to participate.
*Evaluation procedure*
Funding will be granted on a competitive basis. Proposals will be
selected by FOSTER based on the following criteria:
* Aims and topics of the event targeting open access and open
science practices, in particular in relation to publicly funded
research in Horizon 2020 and national funding schemes;
* Outreach potential (number of relevant stakeholders directly
involved on the training event);
* Potential for "multiplication" (institutional or disciplinary) of
train the trainers programmes;
* Level of engagement with Graduate Schools and embedding in
standard curriculum;
* National/regional diversity;
* Disciplinary diversity;
* Cost-efficiency.
Support will be provided to at least ten training programmes for
academic staff and students, research administrators and librarians,
research project managers and staff working in funding bodies.
Selected proposals will be notified no later than 30 April 2014.
*About FOSTER *
FOSTER (Facilitate Open Science Training for European Research), an
FP7-funded project, aims to accelerate knowledge and practice of open
access and open science, especially among young researchers, across
all fields. In addition, it will mobilize other stakeholders, such as
project managers, administrators, and librarians, in support of this aim.
