Guidelines for EASR Bursaries (2010)
The EASR will not hold an independent congress in 2010. The meeting of the Executive Committee and the General Assembly of members will take place during the IAHR conference in Toronto (http://www.religion.utoronto.ca/resources/iahr.htm). Considering that participation in this conference will be particularly expensive for delegates of the EASR, it has been decided during the last meeting of the Executive Committee to modify the aim and the procedures of the bursary fund according to the following guidelines:
1) An amount of 2800 € is earmarked for the bursary fund for the financial year 2009-2010.
2) Each bursary will consist of 400 €, for a total of seven bursaries.
3) The bursaries will be available to delegates of national associations, in order to help them participating in the IAHR congress and, therefore, in the EASR Executive Committee meeting and the General Assembly of members.
4) The delegates will have to represent national associations that are members of the EASR and are fully paid-up. Each national association can submit an application for only one delegate. In case the delegate is not the President or the General Secretary of the national association, the application will have to include a letter from the President or the General Secretary, stating that the applicant will represent the national association at the EASR Executive Committee meeting in Toronto as delegate.
5) One delegate/representative of the individual members may also apply for a bursary, provided that s/he is also a fully paid-up member. This delegate should be elected/nominated by a democratic vote among fully paid-up individual members.
6) An application form will be made available on the EASR website. Together with the form, it is necessary to submit proof that an application for other sources of funding has been made. In the evaluation of applications, there will be a preference for those applicants who can show that their requests for financing from other sources have been successful, but that the granted amount does not suffice to cover the costs of participation in the conference.
7) Decisions of awards will be made by consultation between the President, Secretary and Treasurer, or by their deputies as agreed by the Committee.
8) In case more applications will be received than bursaries available, all other criteria being equal applications received first will have the priority.
9) There will be a reserve list for unsuccessful applications. In case any of the successful applicants has an impediment and is unable to attend the conference, a substitute from the same national association may be proposed by its President or General Secretary. In case no substitutes are available, the next national association in the reserve list will take his place.
10) Applications will have to be sent starting from 15 January 2010, 10:00 (Amsterdam time). They will have to be sent to the email address of the Treasurer: m.pasi@uva.nl. Applications received before that time will be rejected.
11) The usual deadlines for the bursary fund will apply. The deadline for the applications will be four months before the beginning of the Toronto conference, that is: 15 April 2010. The result will be announced no later than 3 months prior to the conference, that is: 15 May 2010.
