AVETRA CONFERENCE 2010
Call for Expressions of Interest in running a pre-conference workshop at the AVETRA conference 2010
Pre-conference workshops have often been arranged at the AVETRA conference and this is planned again for 2010. Workshops give the opportunity for people interested in a particular research-related VET-sector issue to enjoy in-depth discussions in a relatively small group.
In 2010 the workshops will be held on the afternoon of Wednesday April 7th, at the Gold Coast Institute of TAFE, Queensland. The tentative time is 2.00pm-5.00pm, although this may vary slightly. The cost will be around $80 per delegate (2009 figure) and there will be a minimum of 15 attendees for each workshop to run, in order to break-even. The conference secretariat will receive registrations and make all arrangements.
Workshops will need to have some research focus and this could include (but is not confined to):
Research methodology or methodologies
Discussion of research evidence around a particular theme
Research capacity building
For 2009, summaries of research workshop outcomes were written up by presenters for publication in AVETRA’s researcher magazine Research Today, May edition.
You are invited to submit an Expression of Interest (of two pages or less) to run a workshop. Please submit this to the President, Erica Smith, at e.smith@ballarat.edu.au, by Wednesday 30 September 2009. Please include the following information:
Title of the workshop.
Description of the workshop as it would be sent out to potential registrants (up to 200 words).
Name, affiliation and brief biography of the proposed workshop leader(s) that makes clear their expertise in the proposed topic area.
Relationship of the workshop to VET research.
Expected benefits for AVETRA, AVETRA members, other conference delegates from Australia and/or overseas, and/or VET research in general.
Any unusual technology requirements for running the workshop, and expected budget for meeting those requirements (please contact the conference secretariat avetra@conferenceaction.com.au if you need help with costings)
An undertaking that you will not withdraw your workshop once it has been advertised.
Any other information that may support your proposal.
You will be notified of the outcome of your EOI in early October 2009 following a selection and approval process involving members of the AVETRA Executive.
We would like to stress the importance of these workshops and our thanks to those offering to run them. However AVETRA is unfortunately not in a financial position to offer payment to those running workshops.
