Guidelines for the organisation of seminars

The seminars sponsored by the Foundation are held at “Les Treilles” at the invitation of the Fondation des Treilles.

1. Guests:
The number of participants of each seminar is limited to 20.
Seminars must include an appropriate proportion of young researchers such as postgraduates and doctoral students.
The Foundation also prefers a substantial proportion of the participants to be working in Europe.
Unless explicitly stated, the invitation does not extend to partners of the participants.

2. Each seminar normally extends over six days: four days of conference plus one day each for arrival and departure. The Foundation expects that all participants will remain during the entire seminar.

3. Reimbursement of travel expenses:
Organizers are strongly advised to seek outside funding.
Travel costs are reimbursed according to the estimate provided with the request form and after acceptance by the Foundation.

4. Seminar follow-up:
Within the month following the meeting organizers will supply:
* a summary of one to two pages about the work carried out during the seminar which will be published on the website of the Foundation, and
* a French résumé of about twenty lines to be included on the Foundation’s annual report.
Moreover the Foundation expects from participants that mention of its support is made in all works published as the result of a seminar.

5. Request and programming: requests for the organization of a seminar in accordance with the principles above must be made on a special form and submitted no later than eight months before the scheduled meeting. To facilitate the evaluation of the submission by the Scientific Council requests are to include the names of two persons not part of the project, who are affiliated with two different institutions and likely to act as referees.
