Seminar for Irnes
re seminar for Irnes
members
Having received the email below, I would like to suggest a
seminar for Inres members. The subject would be the work of the BioRegional
Development Group and in particular the BedZed site. The latter is a housing
development in south London that utilises green technology and puts into
practice principles of environmental and social sustainability. The subjects
involved are suitably interdisciplinary for Inres and a visit would be very
stimulating and enjoyable. I am willing to do whatever organisation is
necessary as I am aquainted with the founder of BioRegional, Pooran Desai.
Please refer to their website: www.bioregional.com
Best wishes,
Juliet Jenkins
Dear IRNES members
The
committee of IRNES has decided to give 3-4 grants of about £300
to
£400 each to individuals or groups that would put on an 'IRNES'
style
event. These could consist of:
a) a one day seminar, with money
for speakers expenses.
b) a weekend meeting in a Youth Hostel, with IRNES
paying for food and
accomodation
c) a conference, money for speakers
expenses, accomodation etc.
d) for production of publications, books,
videos etc.
e) a party, visit or outing to a place of 'environmental'
interest to
encourage interdisciplinary networking.
The
criteria for these events would be :
a) interdisciplinary
b) for post
doc and 'young/junior' researchers
c) to stimulate creative thinking and
methods.
d) to encourage social networking.
e) fun!
If you
would like to apply send your proposal (500 words max) and budget
to me.
We would welcome proposals that involve co-funding. The first
grants will
be considered at end of Feb 2003, and will be decided by a
vote of the
IRNES committee. You are welcome to circulate this message to
other
groups who may be interested.
