Workshop Proposal
Workshops are distinct meeting events, held either virtually or onsite, that focus on producing clear deliverables and addressing clear objectives. Workshops are typically supported by a working group.
Working Groups are small, enduring, topic-focused, collaborative groups of individuals (typically 10‐15 participants). Members of Working Groups collaborate virtually via the iDigBio Forum, Listservs, Wiki, Tele/Video-Conferencing and/or via onsite meetings to resolve issues and advance progress on the goals of the group.
Applications for workshops are accepted throughout the year. The iDigBio fiscal year runs from July 1st through June 30th. Normally, iDigBio schedules a maximum of 2 workshops per month. Already approved workshops take precedence and may limit the funding and/or scheduling availability for new workshops.
iDigBio recommends submitting workshop proposals at the earliest possible date.
