Call for International Molecule-type Workshops
                                                                                                                                

September 2014 version


  Yukawa Institute for Theoretical Physics (YITP), Kyoto University, calls for proposals to organize international molecule-type workshops under the Yukawa International Program for Quark-Hadron Sciences (YIPQS).

  The international molecule-type workshop program is intended for intensive discussions and collaborations among participants for an extended period of time, from two weeks to a few months.  Provided that a proposal satisfies the requirements given below, we are happy to accept any new type of proposal. For example, the style of a workshop, including whether it is closed or open to the public, is totally up to the organizers of the workshop. It may be a brain-storming type of workshop on some new topic, or it may be to carry out and complete a collaboration, or else. YITP hopes that through these workshops the participants will feel at home, have valuable discussions, and may be able to contribute to further progress in theoretical physics.

 

1.       Requirements

·        The length of a workshop must be two weeks or more, where a week means five working days (which may include public holidays that do not fall on the weekends). A workshop may be divided into two separate weeks if necessary.

·        The workshop participants must include two or more core participants. Core participants are discussion leaders and workshop organizers. A faculty member of YITP should be included among the organizers as a core participant or a contact person.

·        At least one of the core participants has to have a principal affiliation outside of Japan and stay at YITP for two weeks or more.

 

2.       Budget

·        Upper limit of the budget for each workshop is 2,000,000 yen.

 

3.       Deadline
YITP calls for the Molecule-type workshops several times a year. Exact deadline for each call will be announced on the YIPQS homepage. Application must be submitted 3 months before the starting date of the workshop at latest.

4.       Application

Submit the following items via E-mail to

 <yitp_apply_AT_yukawa.kyoto-u.ac.jp> (Replace _AT_ with @).

·        International molecule-type workshop proposal application form.

·        In case the length of a workshop exceeds a month, an explanation for a longer workshop must be given in the application form. A research plan (with a rough schedule, with the length of 80 words or more) for each participant who stays more than a month should be included.

·        In case the budget request exceeds 1,000,000 yen, an explanation for a larger budget must be   given in the application form.

·        PDF copy of a related paper (if any).

The application form can be downloaded from the YIPQS homepage
            http://www2.yukawa.kyoto-u.ac.jp/~yipqs.project/call_e.html
As soon as your application has been received, an acknowledgement is sent to you from the secretary office. If you havenft received it within a week, please send an inquiry to
            <yitp-mol_AT_yukawa.kyoto-u.ac.jp> (Replace _AT_ with @).

 

5.       Screening and approval
Applications are screened by the YIPQS executive committee and the YITP program advisory committee. The result will be informed via E-mail.

6.       Workshop preparation
If approved, the organizers should submit a list of participants.

·        a list of participants from abroad who are to be supported, with their arrival and departure dates and other relevant schedules during their stay 6 weeks at latest prior to the workshop.

·        a list of domestic participants who are to be supported, 3 weeks at latest prior to the workshop.

 

7.       Workshop report
The organizers must submit a report within a month after the end of the workshop. A workshop report should include a list of participants, activity during the workshop, and the achievements (approximately 2 pages in A4 paper).
