General Support
Deadline for the submission of bids for 2011
The purpose of the "General Support funds" is to support any activity related to EURO that cannot be covered by other instruments of EURO. However, the General Support funds should not be used as a support to regular activities of the member societies (such as national meetings and conferences). Priority will always be given to:
- bids that give special consideration to the need of students (e.g.organiser of an event related to EURO willing to subsidise the participation of students),
- bids that give special consideration to the need of organisers of OR events in Central and Eastern Europe,
- bids that emanate from a member society of EURO or organisers of EURO sponsored events or organisers of events sponsored by a member society of EURO.
The bids are kept informal. They should however always contain a description of the project and a budget. They should mention the support that has been obtained or solicited from other sources. Although bids emanating from individuals ( e.g. students willing to attend a Conference closely related to EURO) are, in principle, acceptable they will be given a very low priority. They are approved only in exceptional cases.
Organisers of events receiving General Support funds from EURO are required:
- to publicise the support of EURO in the documents of the Conference,
- to produce a report on the use of the funds no later than 3 months after the event,
- to accompany their report by all original receipts.
Bids for "EURO General Support funds"
are examined twice a year on a competitive basis. For 2011 the budget allocated to this instrument is 10 000 €. (bids are not restricted to projects taking place during
this period).
We have usually been operating with two fixed deadlines but as there
are still money left for 2011, we will evaluate applications for the
remaining part of 2011 on a monthly basis until there is no funding
left.
For 2011, bids should be sent to the Secretary of EURO (Jesper Larsen, Department of Management Engineering
(building 426), Technical University of Denmark, DK-2800 Kgs. Lyngby, DENMARK, Tel: +45 4525 3385, FAX: +45 4593 3435,
