      • I have made to enquiries, the first one to the teacher training institute (i.e. Stockholm University) which has good premisies situated whithin almost walking distans from the cental station in Stockholm. Still no answer from them. I have also checked out a conference venue which is very close to the central station. They have openings in February 2009 and dependig on the number of participants the cost for one day is from 42 000 SKR for the congresshall and then about 5-15 000 per additional seminarroom.

Agenda/actions:

  • The symposium
    • Venue for symposium
      • Two criteria: (1) "Centrality" (easy to reach, being the first conference); (2) Support by host institution. Three alternatives: Oslo, Stockholm and (Copenhagen). Tore/Erlend survey the possibilities in Oslo; Peter in Stockholm
    • Status Scientific Committee
      • We have a strong SC that should guarantee scientific quality of the process. The memeber will be added to a e-mail list and kept up to date of the development of the NordLET initiative.
    • ICT system for handling paper submission, review etc
      • Ideas for systems are welcome. Tore finds out if the system used for a number of conferences, hosted by the Greec ASK unit, would be a possibility.

The conference will be from lunch to lunch. Beginning of February seems to be a good time of the year.

  • Marketing
    • Marketing plan
      • We need a vision that summarises the NordLET idea. Be careful with the "standards perspective". Jan and Christian come up with a proposal (see draft from Jan)
    • Improvement to the www.nordlet.org
      • Add vision og punchline. Read and suggest improvements! The site will be kept as a single, static page for the time being. When needes we could install a CMS med forums, etc.

      • The wiki will be set ut for each member to report national activities
      • OBS! Find and report e-mail lists and other distribution channels, key people, and ideas that could be used for marketing

      • We need pamphlets and templates for e-mails. We also need a logo!
  • Funding - NORDPLUS proposal

    • Who is main coordinator (negotiating with the Nordplus administration)
      • Jan/Finland is willing to coordinate the the proposal (and have already started the drafting)
    • Baltic dimension - how and when?
