Managing workshops

A central workshop is facilitated by the project team; a workshop brings together nominated delegates from the member states (1 delegate per member state; expenses covered by the ECML) and, on the basis of available space, delegates from other countries (expenses not covered by the ECML). A workshop, which lasts 2 days and takes place in Graz, is preceded by a preparatory meeting of the project team on the day before the workshop starts.

Duration: 2 days plus 1 day preparatory meeting; 1 day of follow-up for the team (optional)

Venue: ECML, Graz

Interpretation between two working languages is provided by the ECML for plenary sessions.

Travel and subsistence is provided by the ECML for 4 team members and 36 nominated participants from ECML member states.

Nomination of participants: The ECML has national nominating authorities in each member state who will identify a representative of their country to participate in a workshop. The call for nomination including a participant profile defined by the team is sent out to them 3 months prior to the event at the latest. The selection process of the nominating authorities is based upon this participant profile.

In addition to preparing, delivering and following up all issues relating to the content of the project the following overview lists essential tasks for managing this event.
