Call for Proposals: Researchers' Night 2009 (CORDIS)

The European Commission's Directorate-General for Research has published a call for proposals for the 'Researchers' Night 2009' event.

This call is designed for organisations in European Union Member States and associated countries.

Proposed projects should have a duration of no more than seven months.

The indicative budget amounts to EUR 3 million.

'European Researchers' Night' is a pan-European event involving a wide range of scientific and research organisations, including museums, laboratories and academic institutions, which host a variety of entertaining and fun events planned to run late into the night. The aim is to give the public, and in particular young people, the opportunity to meet researchers within the context of festive and 'fun' activities and to highlight the appeal of pursuing a research career.

Remarks: The deadline for submitting proposals is 14 January 2009.

Before contacting the Commission, proposers are strongly advised to consult the original call text.
