MEMORANDUM
DATE: April 28, 2003
TO: iNEER Community
Dear
Colleagues:
First, some
of you have inquired as to who are qualified as a member of iNEER. The short
answer is: You are! If you are on iNEERLIST and have been receiving
correspondences from us, you are one of us as a member of the iNEER community (at
no charge), and are entitled to participate fully in all of the initiatives of
iNEER. So, once again, welcome.
Following is
another one of our initiatives in which we welcome your active participation
at, of course, no cost.
The iNEER
Board through the iNEER Secretariat has a standing policy of helping to develop
and facilitate the signing of general agreements for international cooperation
between institutions that seek such help. The Secretariat’s role is as a
facilitator to move the process along. These agreements, each called an MOU
(Memorandum of Understanding), are signed at specially arranged ceremony at one
of the institutions, or at an iNEER-sponsored event, such as the upcoming
ICEE-2003. One of the regular features of an ICEE is the signing of MOUs
at the banquet (or other suitable occasion during the conference).
We wish to
reiterate our commitment to develop a limited number of such initiatives, on a
first come first served basis. The relevant MOU is normally signed by the head
of your institution and the head(s) of other partner institution(s). The
next opportunity for signing is at ICEE-2003, July 21-25, 2003, Valencia,
Spain.
If your
institution would like to formalize an existing cooperation or a new
cooperation, please let us know by e-mail. Please discuss it first with the
