................................................................................ PROPOSAL TO HOST THE FOURTEENTH CAMBRIDGE WORKSHOP ON COOL STARS, STELLAR SYSTEMS, AND THE SUN -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Potential hosts are invited to submit a proposal to the CS13 SOC to hold the next workshop, CS14. Please answer the following questions to the best of your ability. The proposals will be evaluated by the SOC prior to CS13, and you will be asked to make a presentation of your proposal at an SOC meeting during the CS13 workshop. The winning proposal will be announced at the CS13 banquet. GENERAL COMMENTS Comments offered to proposers: This meeting has certainly grown from the original small group of attendees at CS1, and now attracts about 300 scientists. It has become one of the (if not the) foremost meeting to discuss advances in cool stars. Attendees now expect features such as email access and banquets, in addition to the ever outstanding scientific results. Generally rooms are required for a plenary session, for breakout sessions, and a poster display area that could run to 200 posters. A group of dedicated people is needed to produce the Workshop. It has been traditional that the Chair of the SOC comes from the host institution. Generally funds in excess of the registration fees from the participants are required to aid the attendance of some speakers, young postdocs, and graduate students. Support for the publication and group activities is also usually sought from outside sources. Such funds are obtained from the host institution, national resources, professional societies, and the commercial sector.
