[General] Early Registration fees for the CIPA / VAST / EG joint event in Cyprus 2006: The e-documentation in Cultural Heritage

Dear Madame/Sir, We would like to take this opportunity to inform you that the registration for the joint event ( CIPA / VAST / EG / Euro-Med 2006 www.cipa2006.org) has already begun. Early registration is possible on-line (http://www.vast2006.org/Registration_Info.html ) until the 15th of September 2006. The joint event for the exchange and sharing of know-how in the areas of Cultural Heritage (CH) and Information Technology (IT) focusing on e-documentation and Computer Graphics is an "In-service training" activity and the participation can be funded by the European Commission Socrates/Grundtvig3 Initiative. For more information please visit the following webpage: http://ec.europa.eu/education/programmes/socrates/grundtvig/grund3_en.html People from the 33 European member states of the Socrates/Grundtvig3 initiative interested in receiving a grant have to contact directly their EU-Socrates National Agency and apply there for the grants: http://ec.europa.eu/education/programmes/socrates/grundtvig/national_en.html Each National Agency has its own deadline for submission of applications so make sure you apply in time. However, you have to register for the joint event before you will apply for the EU grants. The joint event offers special hotel rates in Nicosia which are only available through registration for the event. We would like to remind you that there is a limited hotel room capacity for the event in Nicosia and rooms will be distributed on a first come - first serve basis. Thank you very much and we look forward to meeting you in Cyprus. Regards from Nicosia, Marinos Ioannides On behalf of the Organizing Committee
