FoRS, together with other NGOs, organizes the Humanitarian Congress in the Czech Republic (Olomouc), on October 11, 2013. The headline is "Humanitarian Aid: Independence in Danger?". Around 300 participants (students, NGO professionals, governmental officials, international experts and any other interested people) are expected.
Up to 5 participants from EU13 can ask to have their travel and accommodation costs covered by TRIALOG applying for reimbursement according to TRIALOG internal procedures (www.trialog.or.at/reimbursement) by September 18th. Potential participants should present a letter of their platform as well as the application for events and send this to TRIALOG (office@trialog.or.at). TRIALOG will make the final selection of participants (in consultation with FoRS) before September 20th. TRIALOG will not cover the moderate participation fee (8 EUR).
