hi Bruno and all,

for sure we could find funds for coffee breaks and such. the reason i was mentioning a more detailed budget was that in one of the telecons it was mentioned organising something more in the spirit of a school. this would require lecturers and/or invited speakers... so for this sort of event some more funds would be required. is this something worth considering, or shall we stick to the format used in the previous meetings?

thanks,
Miguel

Dear Miguel,
   Einstein Toolkit workshops are very informal. The first one we had in Europe (Stockholm 2015) did not have any supporting funds, but for a small donation from Christian Ott that covered the cost for coffee breaks (which consisted in cookies, juices, and coffee bought at a local supermarket). In Trento 2016 I had a grant that I used to cover lunches and coffee breaks for the participants, while in Palma 2017 the meeting was hosted in a resort which had all inclusive (so coffee breaks and lunches were included in the accommodation expenses paid by each participant).

    As long as we can have a room where we can meet (equipped with a projector and a blackboard, plus wifi and power strips), that is fine. If you can find some money to support coffee breaks that could be useful.

    The most important thing is that there should not be any conference fee charged to participants.

Cheers,
Bruno

    hi Helvi and all,

    thanks, this looks very nice. Portugal is not part of the RES, however, so i don't think we can
    apply for this if we are to organise the workshop in Lisbon... this seems to be only for researchers
    based in Spain.

    speaking of that, though, in order to see if we could find local funds to organise the European ET
    meeting/school here in Lisbon, it would be good if we had some sort of budget to see how much would
    be needed... since i'm not too experienced in these things, does anyone have something like that
    (maybe from previous editions)? should we also create a working group for this?

    thanks,
    Miguel
