Invitation for Technical Proposals
by John Martin 11 Apr '97

11 Apr '97

Dear Colleague, Please feel free to re-distribute this message. The TERENA Technical Programme exists to co-ordinate new and emerging technical activities on behalf of research and education network users in Europe. The core activities are carried out in 3 main fora: Working Groups, Task Forces and Projects. More recently, TERENA has been concentrating on Task Forces and Projects as a means of delivering fast and timely results to its members. At the TERENA General Assembly meeting in Bled in Nov. 1996, it was agreed to make a limited amount of funding available to the community in order to generate new and innovative pilot projects. The TERENA Technical Committee is therefore soliciting proposals for small to medium sized projects which can demonstrate short-term gains and yield swift results. It is hoped that a few of the resulting projects may lead to larger, externally funded projects in the longer term. Funding of approximately 10-15 kECU is available for 5-6 projects. For more details, please see: http://www.terena.nl/tech/invitation.html Regards, The TERENA Technical Committee
