Request for Proposals for Financial Support of International Conferences

A modest amount of money is available through the International Council to support small conferences involving leading experts on important topics of current scholarly interest that have a substantive international content. The source of these funds is an endowment initiated by a grant from the Hewlett Foundation that was matched by private donations and university funds. 

The intent is to foster conferences where 6-8 leading figures in the selected area participate in presentations and discussions for 2-3 days on campus.  It is encouraged that some of these leading figures be from countries other than the U.S. 

For detailed information, please refer to http://www.ips.uiuc.edu/ic/hewlettconference/

The deadline for competition will be November 18, 2005.

Recipients will be announced around December 16, 2005.
