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, including two postdoctoral researchers at least.
It is preferred half of the participants to be working in France or any other European country.
The Fondation cannot welcome accompanying individuals.
2. Duration
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
Organisers are strongly advised to seek outside funding.
However, when necessary, the Foundation can contribute to the travel expenses. If so, 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.
