The Management Committee of the European Social Simulation Association (http://www.essa.eu.org/ ) has instituted a programme to promote social simulation and especially to support the organization of workshops on social simulation. Applications for support will be examined by the ESSA Management Committee twice a year, normally in November and May (but for this first round, the deadline for applications will be December 15th, with decisions to be made in January 2006). The allocation will be based on a rating of the workshop proposal based on its relevance and its contribution to the field of social simulation. If you plan to organize a workshop dedicated to subjects linked to social simulation, are an ESSA member, and want financial support from ESSA, please provide to the ESSA Secretary ([log in to unmask]): - a brief description of the event, - its location and dates - a list of the possible participants, - the total cost of the workshop and the main items of expenditure , - any other source of funding applied for - the amount requested from ESSA. ESSA will fund no more than 50% of the total costs of the workshop up to a maximum of 1500 euro. For the first round of support, applications submitted before December 15th, 2005 will be considered by the Management Committee in January 2006. ________________________________________________________________ Professor Nigel Gilbert, ScD, FREng, AcSS, Professor of Sociology, University of Surrey, Guildford GU2 7XH, UK. +44 (0)1483 689173
