Workshop submissions

Hi Everybody

In Motovun, we agreed to significantly raise the overall participation fee with the understanding that the tutor fees would be halved.

The motivation for this was that there would be greater competition for tutor places and a higher standard of workshops. This seems to have worked quite well.

We have received more than 50 proposals, and will have to choose approximately 20 workshops.

We would like to thank everyone for their hard work – there are a lot of great ideas and great variety of approaches – we have a very difficult task choosing the best proposals. The majority of proposals are extremely well-developed with well-researched lists of tools, references, graphics, costs and timetables.

It must be said that some people will be disappointed, we promise that we will make sure each proposal will get a fair hearing.

An example of our difficult task is that there are several excellent and ambitious ideas that we unfortunately would not be able to develop – this is disappointing for us.

We had discussions yesterday evening for 4 hours and only got through 15 or so proposals! It will take us a lot of work to narrow our list down to a long-list and finally a short-list.

We will have some sort of decision made in 1 week and will inform potential tutors then. We most likely will have requests for further information for a number of workshops.

Once again, we would like to thank everybody for their fantastic work.

Ronan
