Up: Description
Previous: Site management
The determination of the resources needed take the following hypotheses:
- All participants have an external source of funding, that allow
them devote an important part of their time on the scientific topics of ModelAge.
- These sources also provide part of the funding, mainly for bilateral
contacts.
- Dissemination through papers and presentations at conferences
are mainly supported by these sources. Only the presentation of global results
of ModelAge is supported by ModelAge funding.
It is expected that about 110 conference presentations on specialised subtopics of ModelAge
will be done by the members.
- Industrial training activities are financially self-supporting.
- Student training is mainly supported by the student's institutions.
- Only the additional costs
of stays at other sites of ModelAge may be supported: travel and accommodation.
- General management costs are kept to a minimum due to the use of modern
communication techniques and of a decentralised management.
The cost for the participating organisations is not evaluated, but is clearly
superior to the cost for the Commission.
The following table summarizes the requested funding. The number of activities
have been described in 
. Each activity involves funded participants
(a subset of the members) and unfunded participants. The funded participants
are refunded for travel and accommodation up to the indicated amount (ECU/person).
The organisation cost of the activity is mentioned under ECU/organ.
The total cost of one occurrence of the activity is indicated under ECU/meeting.
The total is thus obtained by multiplying by the number of activities.
