Pre-Proposal Submission

• Electronic submission is now closed. The deadline was September 15, 2010  (deadline extended).
• The submission of a pre-proposal is optional, it is not a requirement for the submission of an experiment proposal.

The ECHORD Team will coach the earlier stages of proposal development, e.g. through the evaluation of pre-proposals. Pre-Proposals can be submitted until September 15th, 2010. They should not be longer than two pages and only describe the experiment idea and its context. A member of the ECHORD staff will respond to pre-proposers within one week. The response will be limited to clarifying whether the proposal fits into the call’s scope (innovation, compatibility with call).
