II. Projects
Since I was not present the first meetings I can only suggest that you please list here the projects proposed by now and maybe add a short summary at the end or as an extra document. Thanks.
Project 1. Isabel Peset + Solenn Patalano …. Videoclip
Project 2. Tobias Maier …. Interview
Project 3. xxx…Science Café
…..
III. Discussed topics
1 Planned project by the CRG: (Gloria Lligadas Peñarrubia)
1.1 web page (linked to the existing CRG page)
- could be a platform to present specific proposed activities (proposed by participants at S&S meeting, e.g. short movies, interviews, blogs…)
- this page is not yet set up – still in the planning period (!) – application for fundings on to do list
- in the context of this page a cooperation with a scientific journalist exists: Luis Angel ( Writer/author of booklet about the CRG)
1.2 Planned activity for students (age 17-18) to visit the CRG: (Gloria Lligadas Peñarrubia)
background: an activity organized by the Sociedad Catalana de Biología has already taken place in December 2007 (ask Uli for more details), meaning that a bulge of students came to see us in our lab and we explained our research and showed them the experimental procedures necessary for data collection. This was done to show the kids what science means, to explain what kind of profession you can exert here, what possibilities you have, fundings… and we just talked about our CV and experience.
News: `visiting the lab´ activities will now be planned by the CRG directly.
Gloria:
- will inform the group leaders ask for their interest in participating at this activity
- will, according to the feedback, set up a timetable for such activities
2 Proposal form
…for possible future activities (suggestion Gloria Lligadas Peñarrubia and Bruna Vives, brainstorm all of us)
- no lack of ideas, but rather a lack of budget supporting the planned projects
- in order to ask for fundings a proper proposal form needs to be set up
- kind of `universal´ proposal form possible to make life much easier?
- therefore: we have to think about the necessary content of this form
- drafts for a project proposal form should be done by each of us – so we can decide in the next meeting which points are essential and which ones are not..
As we all are scientists it is like planning an experiment, isn´t it?
Possible proposal form should include: (!?)
*
project name
*
project idea (summary)
*
`significance´ of the project: Why you do it and why you think it could be of interest for others
*
Promotion: how will people know about the planned activity?
*
`experimental´ procedures: meaning the course of action
o
Time you need for the work
o
People included
o
Material – list of material
o
Etc.
*
cost estimate/budget: Costs for personal, material, promotion…
*
justification/outlook? E.g. why you plan to present your project at a specific place…., the proposed project could be a serial event
3 new timetable for Science and Society meeting?
- it was proposed to move the time and location of the Science and Society meetings to the evening and a bar. No desition has yet been taken.
III. Next Science and Society meeting
Thursday 21.02.2008, 13.30 hours , altillo sud, 5th floor
