E.C. –I.F.C.N.
The Chapter has supported 11 regional courses between October 2005 and May 2008. The standard procedure to set up the supported courses is as follows:
A call for propositions is sent by e-mail to all national delegates and posted in the Chapter's Web site ( http://ifnl.univ-lyon1.fr/ec-ifcn/
Applicants must propose a full program covering 1-2 days of teaching / training
Since 2006, applications for combined course – scientific meetings are considered
Eligible propositions are discussed by the 4 ExCo members (video-meeting or audio-conference). A maximum of two Regional Courses are selected per tender
The Chapter supports course-meting expenses up to a maximum of 3,500 €per Course / meeting. This money is essentially devoted to reimbursement of travel and accommodation expenses of the Faculty, coffee breaks and teaching documents handed to the students
The organizers acknowledge the EC-IFCN support in all public documents
