An Invitation for Project Ideas/Posters/Papers 

The first Research Cafe in Paris in May 2007, continued a process that had started with three workshops in London, looking at possible joint projects.  This Research Cafe on 21st September 2007, was part of a 2-day event, following Workshop IV on Collective Decision-Making with Charles Faulkner, on the 20th September.  The series of Research Cafe will continue around Europe.  The Paris and London ones are therefore part of a longer-term process to facilitate the exploration of national and/or joint European projects.  SoL members and others were invited to submit their ideas and proposals for projects on collective decision-making, as follows: 

1. A short one-page description of an idea or a project, you or your group are working on. Short descriptions will be published as part of the workshop proceedings, in advance of the workshop.
2. Abstract not to exceed 4 pages of A4 (minimum font size 12). Abstracts will be published as part of the workshop proceedings, in advance of the workshop.
3. A paper or proposal not to exceed 5,000 words on a project idea. To include background, objectives, methodology, outcomes.
4. A one-page poster to be on display during the 20 September Workshop and the 21 September Research Café. Posters may be related to abstracts or papers.   A suggested format for the poster is attached below that you may find helpful.

Papers, short descriptions and abstracts are posted on a special website linked to www.sol-uk.org
