Call for Expressions of Interest to Host the 2020 INORMS Congress

Sent on behalf of Ms Janice Besch, President, Australasian Research Management Society Inc.

Dear INORMS Members

As Chair of the INORMS Council it is my responsibility to initiate a process to call for Expression of Interest to host the 2020 INORMS Congress and I am writing to you in this capacity.  The hosting of INORMS 2020 was discussed at our Congress in September where the following arrangements were agreed.

Individual (or groups of) Associations may submit a proposal to the Council for considerations of the 2020 INORMS Congress location. The proposal shall, at a minimum, consist of:

·        The location of the host city and an outline of Congress accommodation options;

·        The programmatic theme or vision;

·        A guarantee, signed by the current Association(s) President(s) involved that the Association(s) shall be responsible for all fiscal and programmatic obligations of the entire meeting. An Association planning to host must demonstrate that they have sufficient means to shoulder the financial risk, which may include partnering with another Association that has sufficient reserve funds;

·        Consideration shall be given to nurturing and developing of emerging Associations in the support of the Congress; and

·        Consideration shall be given to the capacity and capability of the Association(s) to host the Congress.

Expressions of Interest in no more than ten (10) pages must be submitted electronically to the ARMS Executive Office admin_officer@researchmanagement.org.au by no later than Friday 24th February 2017. The INORMS Council will then consider the proposals and will vote to determine the successful bid. The Council reserves the right to request a presentation by shortlisted proponents which will be conducted by teleconference or video conference.

Finally, I had hoped to convene a teleconference of the INORMS Council before the holiday break but realise that this will be too difficult with many people now away. I would like to delay this until early in the New Year.

In the meantime have a safe and happy festive season.

Janice Besch

ARMS President.

Chair of INORMS Council

P.S.: INORMS 2018 será em Glasgow; para 2020, a pré-candidatura já é da África do Sul, que vai ter que preparar a documentação acima referida;  Aline Pacífico vai estar na comissão organizadora da SARIMA (Sul da África), para poder acompanhar de perto e decidirmos mais adiante se o Brasil se candidata para 2022 ou 2024.
