Connectionists: Organizing scientific events - Online Workshop, Dec 5th

[Mateusz Kostecki]

Hello!

We are happy to announce our new workshop!

Organizing scientific events—workshops, summer schools, conferences,
symposia—seems like a complex and overwhelming endeavor. You need to design
the structure of your event, secure funding, invite guests, promote it,
process payments, and contact participants; you need to take care of
catering, flights, hotels, and dates.

It is a lot, but with a proper approach, some knowledge, and the right
people around you, you can organize a successful event even with limited
resources.

During our workshop, you will learn how to:

- design your event, select its target and set goals
- secure funding: find sponsors, write grant applications
- promote your event on social media and mailing groups
- how to approach graphic design
- how to contact guests and prepare invitations
- how to proceed with funding: event fees, grants, sponsors’ money
- how to ensure a good atmosphere
- what to do afterward
And much more!

The event will take place on Thursday, Dec 5th at Nencki Institute, 10 AM –
1 PM. The cost of the workshop is EUR 25. Please find the application form
here: https://nenckiopenlab.org/organizing-scientific-events/. The deadline
for applications is Nov 25th.

Best,
NOL Team
