Proposals should be short (2 pages, in pdf) and should address the following: 1. What activity is proposed and its specific objectives? 2. Who will be the chair of the activity? 3. What is the target audience (e.g., academics, industry, graduate students, undergraduate students)? 4. What is the expected number of participants? 5. Duration of the proposed activity (e.g., 1/2 day, 1 day, 2 hours). 6. Will the activity be by invitation only or will it involve an open call for participation/registration/submission? What is the expected timeline (including submission deadline and notification)? 7. Funding needed (if any) and potential sources of funding. 8. Volunteer support needed (if any). Specify how many, for how long, and for what (e.g. “two volunteers, for 0.5 hr, to distribute materials”, or “two volunteers, for 0.5 hr at opening and closing, to rearrange seating into discussion groups”).
