(To be confirmed. Alternative: University of Genova.) Genova is the capital of Liguria, stretching along the bay of the same name from Nervi to the east as far as Voltri to the west. Genova’s old town district (reachable by local train, by bus, as well as by boat) is one of the largest in Europe, and hosts some remarkable artistic and architectural treasures, including the Palazzi dei Rolli, fifty or so homes of the aristocracy entered on the UNESCO World Heritage List. Nervi is a former fishing village, now a suburb of Genoa, 7 km east of central Genova. Two of the most important tourist attractions of Genoa are in Nervi: the sea promenade, a 2 km walkway along the cliffs, and the "Parchi di Nervi". The sea promenade is famous for the stunning views that make it one of Italy's most beautiful promenades. While the "Parchi di Nervi" is a park of about 22 acres (9 hectares) created from the gardens of the Villa Grimaldi, Villa Groppallo, and Villa Serra. It has typical Mediterranean plant species and many exotic species and the entrance is just at the end of the promenade. In addition to offering a wealth of cultural attractions, Genova is a fascinating destination for tourists, with its scenic vantage points, sea promenades, aristocratic villas, and of course the Riviera to the east and west, both easy to reach: Portovenere and Le Cinque Terre (also UNESCO World Heritage Sites), Portofino and Camogli to the east and Alassio, Sanremo, Bordighera to the west. Of course, we will continuously monitor the pandemic situation in order to evaluate whether the conference can be indeed held as an in-person event, or we will need to switch to a hybrid event, if not completely on-line.

COST Action CA20111 EuroProofNet Open call for Short-Term Scientific Missions (STSMs) Dear Action members, The next STSM deadline is: 3 April 2022 Notification: 15 April. We are especially looking for applications from women and working groups other than WG3. *What is an STSM?* A Short-Term Scientific Mission (STSM) is a research visit of an individual researcher from a country participating in the Action in a different country also participating in the Action. We encourage STSMs, as they are an effective way of starting and maintaining collaborations. The procedure for proposing an STSM is described in Annex 2 of the Annotated Rules ( https://www.cost.eu/uploads/2021/10/COST-094-21-Annotated-Rules-for-COST-Ac… ). The main points about STSMs are: * An STSM must be between two different countries which are participating in the Action. * The typical duration is one or two weeks. We favor short missions so that more people can get funded. * The financial contribution for an STSM is a fixed grant based on the applicant’s budget request and the evaluation of the application by the STSM assessment committee. The grant may not necessarily cover all costs of the visit. The grant only covers travel and subsistence and is transferred after the STSM has taken place. * Recommended grants: - up to EUR 120 for daily allowance (depending on the location) - up to EUR 400 for travel. - the total may not exceed EUR 4000 (this is a hard limit) * Proposals should be submitted by the deadlines. *What documents to provide?* Proposals must be made through the e-COST system ( https://e-services.cost.eu/activity/grants/add?type=STSM , you need to add a bank account on your profile first). The following documents must be uploaded: * The application form ( https://europroofnet.github.io/assets/documents/STSM-application-template.d… ) with the following data: - Details of the STSM: title, dates and justification of the grant request (details of the travel cost, accommodation cost and living cost) - Goals of the STSM (max 200 words) - Working plan (max 500 words) - Working group(s) it contributes to (see https://europroofnet.github.io/wg ) and expected outputs and contribution to the action objectives and deliverables (max 500 words, see https://europroofnet.github.io/description ) * A letter from the host confirming that he or she will receive the applicant. * Documents justifying the grant request (quotes for travel and accommodation). *Selection criteria:* The criteria according to which funding will be decided are in order: * importance with regard to the research coordination objectives * inclusiveness target countries * age * gender * team with low resources * balance over the action life time between people, teams, countries and working groups. *Grant reception:* To receive the grant, a short scientific report must be submitted through the e-cost system along with the Host’s approval of the report, within 15 days after the end of the STSM. *Changing the dates of an STSM, or cancelling an STSM?* In case you need to change the dates of an accepted STSM, you need to inform the STSM coordinators as soon as possible and provide new dates so that the STSM ends before the end of October. In case you need to cancel an accepted STSM, you need to inform the STSM coordinators as soon as possible. For more information, see the website of the action https://europroofnet.github.io .

13 Mar '22

=============================================================================== 10th ACM SIGPLAN International Workshop on Functional Art, Music, Modelling and Design (FARM) Call for Papers, Demos, and Performance Ljubljana, Slovenia, 16th September 2022 Deadline: June 1 https://functional-art.org/2022/ =============================================================================== Key Dates --------- Submission deadline June 1 Author notification July 1 Workshop September 16 Call for Papers --------------- The ACM SIGPLAN International Workshop on Functional Art, Music, Modelling and Design (FARM) encourages submissions from across art, craft, and design, including textiles, visual art, music, 3D sculpture, animation, GUIs, video games, 3D printing and architectural models, choreography, poetry, and even VLSI layouts, GPU configurations, or mechanical engineering designs. Theoretical foundations, language design, implementation issues, and applications in industry or the arts are all within the scope of the workshop. In addition to the main workshop, FARM hosts a traditional evening of performances. Thus, this call encompasses both papers/demos for the workshop (and its published proceedings) as well as performance proposals for the evening's event. Authors are invited to make a single submission for each. Authors may submit both a paper/demo and performance proposal, but the submissions will be considered independently. Note on Finances ---------------- Paid registration to the FARM workshop is usually required for paper and demo submitters, but will be waived for performers. If you would have financial difficulty attending, you can apply for conference “PAC” funds. Please get in touch for more information. Papers ------ Paper submissions are invited in three categories: - Original research - Overview / state of the art - Technology tutorial (especially tools and environments for distributed artistic workflow) Papers must be submitted via HotCRP (https://farm22.hotcrp.com/) and meet the following requirements: - 5 to 12 pages - PDF format - Adhere to the ACM SIGPLAN template Accepted papers will be published in the ACM Digital Library as part of the FARM 2022 proceedings. Authors are encouraged to submit auxiliary material for publication along with their paper (source code, data, videos, images, etc.). Authors retain all rights to the auxiliary material. Demos ----- Demo submissions should describe a demonstration and its context, connecting it with the themes of FARM. A demo could be in the form of a short (10 to 20 minute) tutorial, a presentation of work in progress, an exhibition of some work, or even a performance. Demos must be submitted via HotCRP (https://farm22.hotcrp.com/) and meet the following requirements: - 500 to 2000 words - Have a title starting with “Demo: ” - PDF format - Adhere to the ACM SIGPLAN template (https://www.sigplan.org/Resources/ProceedingsFormat/) Accepted demos will be published in the ACM Digital Library as part of the FARM 2022 proceedings. Performances ------------ FARM seeks proposals for performances which employ functional programming techniques, in whole or in part. We invite a diverse range of functionally-themed submissions including music, video, dance, and performance art. Both live performances and fixed-media submissions are welcome. We encourage risk-taking proposals that push forward the state of the art as well as refined presentations of highly developed practice. In either case, please support your submission with a clear description of your performance, including how your performance employs functional programming and a discussion of influences and prior art as appropriate. Performance proposals should be emailed to performance(a)functional-art.org, and must include: - A description of the performance (please be as specific as possible) - An explanation of the use of functional programming in the work - A list of technical requirements - A link to an audio or video example (YouTube, Vimeo, Bandcamp, etc.) Accepted performances will be presented at the performance evening. Contact ------- For any questions, issues or comments, email farm-2022(a)functional-art.org.

Call for STSMs, deadline 3 April 2022
by Ambrus Kaposi 08 Mar '22

08 Mar '22

COST Action CA20111 EuroProofNet Open call for Short-Term Scientific Missions (STSMs) Dear Action members, Proposals have to be submitted on https://e-services.cost.eu/activity/grants/add?type=STSM (you need to add a bank account on your e-cost profile first). The deadline is 3 April 2022 (AoE). We are especially looking for applications from women and from working groups other than WG3. A Short-Term Scientific Mission (STSM) is a research visit of an individual researcher from a country participating in the Action in a different country also participating in the Action. We encourage STSMs, as they are an effective way of starting and maintaining collaborations. The procedure for proposing an STSM is described in Annex 2, section 2.3, of the Annotated Rules ( https://www.cost.eu/uploads/2021/10/COST-094-21-Annotated-Rules-for-COST-Ac… ). The main points about STSMs are: * An STSM must be between two different countries which are participating in the Action. * The typical duration is one or two weeks. We favor short missions so that more people can get funded. * The financial contribution for an STSM is a fixed grant based on the applicant's budget request and the evaluation of the application by the STSM assessment committee. The grant will not necessarily cover all costs of the visit. The grant only covers travel and subsistence and is transferred after the STSM has taken place. * Recommended grants: - up to EUR 120 for daily allowance (depending on the location) - up to EUR 400 for travel. - the total may not exceed EUR 4000 (this is a hard limit) * As part of the application form submitted through e-COST, the goals of the mission have to be described including how it contributes to the objectives of the Action (see https://www.cost.eu/actions/CA20111) which working group(s) it contributes to, and a confirmation from the host that he or she will receive the applicant. * Proposals should be submitted by the deadlines. * STSMs must end before the end of October. The criteria according to which funding will be decided are in order: * importance with regard to the research coordination objectives * inclusiveness target countries * age * gender * team with low resources * balance over the action life time between people, teams, countries and working groups. After acceptance, to get reimbursed, a short scientific report must be submitted through the e-cost system along with the Host’s approval of the report, within 15 days after the end of the STSM. For more information, see the website of the action https://europroofnet.github.io. Regards, Danijela Simic and Ambrus Kaposi EuroProofNet STSM Coordinators
