Dear CETAF representatives,

 

As I hope you have noticed, we managed to launch CETAF’s award E-SCoRE a couple of weeks ago. Please spread the word about the call within your institutions, among your national collaborators  and through your professional networks. We are hoping for active participation in the call and wide visibility for this community effort.

 

Please also note that we will be calling upon specialists from within the CETAF community to act in the evaluation committee. I am not asking for names yet – within the Executive Committee we decided that we should first wait and see how many applicants there are and from which areas and institutions they come – but it would be good to keep this in mind and start thinking of possible people to ask. The committee will need to be formed right after the application deadline of January 31, 2020.

 

On behalf of the whole EC I wish you all a peaceful holiday break and a happy New Year!

 

Leif
