Invitation to submit bids to host ESOF 2012

Strasbourg, December 1, 2007

EUROSCIENCE established the EUROSCIENCE OPEN FORUM (ESOF) meetings in 2004. They are the only pan-European meeting place for scientists, science teachers, media, politicians, industry and the public to debate issues of science and technology, society and policy. The first successful ESOF meeting took place in Stockholm in August 2004. The second was held in Munich in July 2006 (www.esof2006.org ), the third and fourth are to be held in Barcelona in 2008 and in Torino in 2010, both cities winning their election after stiff competition.

EUROSCIENCE now invites cities, regions, countries or local, regional or national consortia to submit bids to host ESOF 2012.

All necessary information regarding bid requirements and the selection procedure can be found in the attached document “EUROSCIENCE OPEN FORUM 2012: AIMS, REQUIREMENTS for HOST CITIES, GOVERNANCE and SELECTION PROCEDURE”.

Bids must be received no later than 1 October 2008, 17.00 hours CET, at the EUROSCIENCE office in Strasbourg (see address below). Applicants must submit bids electronically and in paper format (15 copies). Brochures and other supporting publicity material must be sent as paper copies only (15 copies). A decision on where to host ESOF 2012 will be taken by 1 January 2009 in accordance with the Euroscience Statutes
