Dear IALE members,

We support your contribution to IALE International by funding global collaborations between landscape ecologists.

We consider chapter and working group activities to be key for engaging the IALE community and supporting landscape ecology as an integrative discipline. Therefore, we ask for competitive applications for the financial support of chapter and working group activities or events.

Budget

• There is no explicit limit for the requested budget
• The executive committee decided to allocate a budget of EUR 15.000 for support

• Chapter information must be updated on the IALE-World web site: https://www.landscape-ecology.org/regions/list-of-iale-regions.html
• Working Groups must have been active in the past year and their respective web sites fully updated.
• Working Groups must provide a list of active members. More than 50% should be IALE members in good standing.
• The money must be spent in the calendar year 2021.

 Proposal

• Proposals must include a one page description of the event or activity and a financial plan that justifies the requested money.
• Proposals for an event or activity must outline how their activity promotes global collaborations.
• Proposals can be submitted until December 15, 2020 to Robert Scheller (rschell(at)ncsu.edu)

We are looking forward to your ideas, suggestions and proposals!
