2007 Call for Proposals

The 2007 Call for Proposals in now
Outcome results will be announced in Spring 2008.

The ESF Conferences Unit’s 2007 Call for Proposals invites proposals for conferences to take place in 2008 (in the field of Mathematics) and 2009 (in all other fields).  

The ESF Research Conference Scheme provides the opportunity for leading scientists and younger researchers to meet for discussions on the most recent developments in their fields of research and it acts as a catalyst for creating new synergistic contacts throughout Europe and the rest of the world.

The Proposals are evaluated through international Peer Review for which Referees will be nominated by the appropriate ESF Scientific Committees.
