TEIN3 logoOn behalf of theTEIN3 project and DANTE we would like to make a call for proposals to interested individuals or organizations willing to collaborate over TEIN3 and its peering networks, to host workshops aimed at promoting applications on TEIN3 with provision of budget (approx. up to Euro 7,000 per workshop).

The expected outcome of the workshop is to lead to a concrete collaborative application project to be implemented on TEIN3 in at least 2 TEIN3 beneficiary countries (Bangladesh, Bhutan, Cambodia, India, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Nepal, Pakistan, the Philippines, Sri Lanka, Thailand and Vietnam). Examples of existing applications using TEIN3 are, among others, projects in the fields of telemedicine and tele-education.
 
Application workshops must meet the following requirements:

  • New innovative collaborations or enhancements on existing collaborations with the involvement of National Research and Education Networks (NRENs) in at least 2 of the aforementioned TEIN3 beneficiary countries.
  • A project development plan for future collaborations should be included in the proposal with a clear time line.
  • Proposed applications in new application areas as well as proposed enhancements of existing collaborative applications with a potentially significant impact will be given special consideration.
  • All proposed applications/projects must be non-commercial in nature.
  • The workshop must be conducted during the course of 2011 while, the actual collaborative activities on TEIN3 can commence or be conducted in 2012.
  • The workshop can be co-located as a satellite event of existing meetings/conferences in the region, such as APAN and TEIN3 NOC Annual Workshops.
