Call for Proposals: Application Workshops on TEIN Network
TEIN Application Workshops 2015 – First Phase Program
On behalf of the TEIN4 project, TEIN*CC would like to make a call for proposals to interested individuals or organizations who are willing to collaborate over TEIN4 and its peering networks; to host application workshops aimed at promoting applications on TEIN4 with provision of budget (approx. up to 15,000 Euros per workshop). Information on the TEIN4 network can be found on www.tein4.net
The expected outcome of the workshop is to lead to a concrete collaborative application project to be implemented on TEIN4 in at least 1 of the TEIN4 beneficiaries (Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Cambodia, India, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Nepal, Pakistan, the Philippines, Sri Lanka, Thailand and Vietnam) and candidate country (Mongolia, etc.). Examples of existing applications using TEIN4 are, among others, projects in the fields of telemedicine, weather forecasting, climate change, and E-learning.
Application workshops must meet the following requirements:
- New innovative collaborations or enhancements on existing collaborations which can contribute to the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) set by United Nations.
- Collaboration with at least 2 countries with the involvement of National Research and Education Networks (NRENs) in at least 1 of the aforementioned TEIN4 beneficiaries and candidate countries.
- A project development plan for future collaborations should be included in the proposal with a clear time line.
- Proposed applications in new areas as well as proposed enhancements of existing collaborative applications with a potentially significant impact will be given special consideration.
- All proposed applications/projects must be non-commercial in nature.
- The workshop is encouraged to be conducted during the course of 2015 while the actual collaborative activities on TEIN4 can commence or be conducted thereafter.
- The workshop can be co-located as a satellite event of existing meetings/conferences in the region, such as APAN and APRICOT Workshops.
Other Points to be noted:
- The organizer will try to invite at least one person from each TEIN beneficiary country including Mongolia subject to availability of budget.
- Participants from Non beneficiary countries are encouraged based on self-support and subject to availability of seats.
Applications involving European partners are strongly encouraged.
