[Anand Chandrasekhar]

WANTED: HOST FOR PAGES OSM & YSM, 2013

PAGES (Past Global Changes) invites applications from groups  
interested in hosting the 4th PAGES Open Science Meeting (OSM) and the  
associated 2nd Young Scientists Meeting (YSM) in 2013. The OSM and YSM  
are PAGES flagship events and are much anticipated fixtures on the  
paleoscience calendar. Previous host venues have been London (OSM  
1998), Beijing (OSM 2005) and Corvallis (OSM & YSM 2009).

Interested groups are requested to send a completed application form  
to PAGES by 15 November 2010. The application form as well as  
information on previous OSM/YSM meetings can be obtained from http://www.pages-osm.org/

Guidelines for applicants

-The meetings should be held in 2013, preferentially in the first half  
of the year.

-Exact dates are open but should ideally be scheduled to promote  
sufficient participation.

-The Young Scientists Meeting (YSM) will probably be 2 days long and  
be followed by the Open Science Meeting (OSM) for 4 days.

-The expected number of participants at the YSM is 100, at the OSM  
300-500.

-It is also expected that a number of smaller workshops will take  
place before and after the meetings or during the YSM.
