The meeting will take place on 16-17 May 2024, in Kaunas, Lithuania at the Faculty of Social Sciences, Arts and Humanities of Kaunas University of Technology.
The main objective of the meeting is to provide support for the eye-tracking experiment, give detailed instructions for the data collection (WG1) and plan future WG activities related to analyzing the MultiplEYE data (WG3). Therefore, we are inviting participants who (a) are committed to collecting data in their language (WG1) and/or (b) are interested in analyzing the MultiplEYE eye-tracking data when available and contributing to output in WG3.
Please note that all members of WG1 and WG3 are eligible to apply for attendance and will be reimbursed upon the completion of the event if they are selected by the COST Action Committee.
If you are a member of WG1 and/or WG3 and wish to participate in the meeting, there are approx. 16 eligible places that will be reimbursed by COST. Note that priority will be given to Action members who have contributed actively to the respective Working Groups. Note that we can only accept a limited number of participants from the same lab, so please coordinate with your colleagues.
If you are interested in attending, please send the application form via e-mail to multipleye.2022@gmail.com. The application form includes a brief motivation. In the application form, you should explain why you wish to attend the meeting, and how you are contributing to the Working Group(s).
If the number of applicants exceeds the number that can be supported by the available budget, the responsible Committee of the Action will select applicants to be reimbursed. The selection will be based on the motivation received and the applicant’s contribution to WG1 or WG3. The list of participants selected for reimbursement will be announced after the application deadline.
Applications should be submitted by March 17, 2024.
Formal invitations will be sent to the selected participants via the e-COST platform.
Note that MultiplEYE can only cover the expenses for a limited number of places. Therefore, we also welcome participants who can cover their expenses through their universities or other sources. Applicants who apply but are not selected as eligible for reimbursement are nevertheless welcome to join the meeting at their own expense. However, due to organizational matters, this number will also be limited.
According to COST rules, all participants who are eligible for reimbursement are expected to initially pay all the expenses themselves and provide evidence of expenses incurred via the e-COST platform. Participants will be reimbursed after the meeting for the attended days and travel time. Please refer to page 85 of the COST Annotated Rules to see precise calculations.
Please carefully read the Online Travel Reimbursement Rules (OTRR) on page 82 of the Annotated Rules for details on reimbursement upon the completion of the event.
We are looking forward to your applications, and to seeing some of you in Kaunas!
