Gaps in some intervention areas might stand next to overachievement in other fields. This will open a strategic debate in many programmes: How can future calls for proposals contribute to the achievement of programmes’ results? What are key aspects to be considered when planning, preparing and launching last calls? What can be an efficient and effective ways for programmes to use last calls to narrow respectively close the gap between the expected and actually attained outputs? What could be leading aspects when formulating the call requirements such as capitalisation or attracting new groups of applicants or spearheading into new ideas for post-2020 etc.? We would like to discuss all these aspects with you and we will offer, to the extent possible, first-hand experience and insights when it comes to planning last calls. Objectives The core objective of the workshop is the open exchange on experiences, concerns and reflections when considering the preparation of the programme’s last calls. We would like to offer you the opportunity to discuss new approaches and good practices, in order to: prepare your final rounds in an efficient and effective way; and achieve the envisaged targets at priority and programme levels.

    Issue No. 19 Winter 2010

    www.iberianrailwayssociety.org Issue No. 19 Winter 2010 he inaugural IRS meeting took place at the Model T Railway Club in London on 22nd February 2006, and was attended by about 20 prospective members from all around the UK. A general discussion took place and introductions, suggestions and proposals were made. At this meeting a small committee was voted on and tasked with setting up the Society on a formal basis. The Committee members are: Chairman David Stevenson Secretary Charles Phillips Journal Editor Michael Guerra Treasurer & Membership Secretary Tony Bowles Publicity & Exhibitions post vacant THE BASICS The remit of the Society is to stimulate interest in and disseminate information about railways on the Iberian Peninsular and the Balearic Islands. It was felt at this time that extending this remit to Spanish and Portuguese speaking areas of the world would be too ambitious. It is proposed that a Society Journal be published four times a year and that this would be the main conduit between members. Local meetings and branches were also to be established wherever possible to encourage membership from the widest possible area. A fledgling library could be made available to members as time went on. Consideration would be given to organising trips from the UK, both formal and informal, as a way of enabling members to meet in a very convivial atmosphere and whilst indulging their passion for rail travel! MEMBERSHIP Membership was to be open to all and would entitle the member to receipt of the magazine, use of the Societies’ facilities and attendance and voting rights at an Annual General Meeting.

    A Short Guide For Participants of the 15th International Stellarator Workshop, 3rd to 7th October 2005 The Local Organizing Committee is providing this short guide for participants. We hope that it will be useful to 15th International Stellarator Workshop participants. It gives information on how to get to and from the airport, Hotel Convencion and Ciemat as well as other details on the Workshop. There is also some basic eating out advice. We hope that it is of use to our guests. Registration Registration for the 15th International Stellarator Workshop will take place in the lobby of the Hotel Convencion between 4 and 8 pm on the Sunday afternoon. Registered participants will be provided with a badge for entering CIEMAT. There will also be the possibility to register at Ciemat on the Monday morning. However, as the Opening Ceremony begins at 8:45 am there will be little time to register many participants. Therefore the LOC would appreciate if all participants register on the Sunday afternoon in Hotel Convencion. Getting to Hotel Convencion from the Madrid Airport Madrid International Airport (at Barajas) is located 13 kilometres (eight miles) north east of central Madrid and provides a choice of convenient transport options to Hotel Convencion. By Metro First, Metro Line 8 (located in Terminal 2 of Madrid Airport) takes 12 minutes to Nuevos Ministerios. Tickets can be bought at automatic machines or from ticket desks in the station. The cost is 1 Euro for a single ride or 5.80 Euro for 10 rides. From Nuevos Ministerios take Line 6 to O’Donnell (this is a loop line so make sure to take the short way).
