Awards for beneficiaries of existing young scholars’ support schemes are available to participate in this workshop. We would ask you to nominate one young researcher, taking into account also their likely ability to contribute to interdisciplinary and science policy oriented discussions. ALLEA, its members and partner organisations, have embarked on this project in order to harness the creative potential of the next generation of leading scholars from across Europe to develop new forms of interdisciplinary collaboration. Another function of such a “European Young Academy” would be to establish a cohort of some of the best early career researchers in Europe who would be able to speak up on science policy issues. In parallel, discussions also will be useful for determining dimensions of the science policy activities o national Young Academies. With increasing pressure being brought to bear on science to respond to major, often global, societal challenges, science policy makers are in the process of identifying “Grand Challenges” around which to arrange large scale international research programmes. This workshop will bring together a select group of ca. 20 young researchers and a handful of expert practitioners – at national, European and global level – in the field of strategic planning and priority setting in science. We shall make additional material accessible to workshop participants closer to the time of the actual event. Such background materials and lectures by senior science policy makers on “Grand Challenges” approaches and associated problems will equip the representatives of the next generation of leading scholars to debate the rationale behind such processes, or, indeed, to propose alternatives. Participants will articulate their vision of the structures needed for the next generation of leading scholars to play a role in the ongoing debates; questions may include: what science for the future? how to design research foresight processes? etc. Through break-out and more broadly conceived plenary sessions a workshop document will be prepared (“Grand Challenges in Science: the voice of the next generation”). This document will be used as input for the further development of the project by ALLEA and partner organisations. ALLEA The workshop is co-sponsored by our Member Academy TÜBA (the Turkish Academy of Sciences; http://www.tuba.gov.tr/) and will be convened on 25-28 March 2010 in Antalya, Turkey, at the “Concorde De Luxe Resort” (http://www.concordehotel.info/). TÜBA will cover accommodation for 3 nights for participants, meals and the airport-hotel-airport transfers in Antalya (by taxi). Costs of the airline ticket to Antalya (economy class) will be reimbursed by ALLEA. Private expenses (mini-bar, phone calls, etc.) as well as accommodation for extra persons (family, guests etc.) will need to be paid for by the participants themselves. Costs in the country of origin (travel to and from airport) cannot be covered. Please do let us know by 10 March 2010 the details of the participant you have identified by e-mail to [email protected]. We are looking forward to seeing your representative in Antalya.
