Certified Workshop Proposals
Call For URISA Certified Workshop Proposals
For The URISA Annual Conferences and other Educational Events
New Workshop Proposals Due December 3, 2007
SOLUTIONS:
This is what URISA conferences have been about for over 30 years. From a small group at the birth of information systems in the early 1960's to an international conference of 3,000 in the 1990's, government, academic, managerial, and business professionals have met at URISA conferences to share their questions and answers to how organizations can use information technology to solve problems.
This call for new URISA Certified Workshops is an invitation to share your knowledge with others who share your concerns. This is an invitation to the vanguard of this industry, to show us what you have learned, to tell us what you expect from the future, and to integrate these with the issues facing those who are trying to improve governments and businesses using information technology.
URISA workshops build on the past and make a major new effort to identify and document the inter-relationships between issues, ideas, experiences, and knowledge. Our major goal is to make more obvious the connections between old and new, theory and practice, research and policy, technology and organization, plans and programs, purpose and function.
Please consider developing a URISA Certified Workshop!
Criteria:
The following general principles are followed in approving new URISA workshops.
New proposals must identify a specific niche or need. This could be a new topic or build on existing workshops, but should not be minor variations of existing workshops. See list of current URISA certified workshops below. Proposers, coordinators and instructors must be URISA members. A workshop must be presented with a minimum of two instructors. The workbook must not be copyrighted by the author or contain proprietary materials which may preclude URISA's use of the workbook/workshop at other URISA conferences. All new workshops are considered on the following schedule:
| December 3, 2007 | Proposals due |
| May 26, 2008 | First draft of workbook due |
| August 25, 2008 | Final draft of workbook due |
To propose a new workshop, download the proposal form and related documents or contact URISA Headquarters.
