CTLS in 2018 and beyond … How do we envision CTLS in the future, and how do we translate this vision into ac-on?
CTLS in 2018 and beyond … In 2018, our flagship will no doubt be the CTLS2018 congress
CCTLS2018 congress (Chris Guerin)
Future congresses Biennal periodicity (at least for the moment being)? • Process of selec-on of venue for 2020 : • Call for candidate venues should be launched in 2018: early spring? Should we aim at selec-ng the venue and dates of CTLS2020 • at the EC mee-ng that will take place during the CTLS2018 congress, and announce the result during the AGM ? or should we just announce who are the CTLS2020 candidates during the 2018 AGM ? Should we repeat the CTLS2018 set-up: signature of a MoU with the local • organizing ins-tu-on defining sharing of responsibili-es and benefits (financial risks and profits)? or should we aim towards an “ABRF-like model”, with CTLS being the sole organizer of its congresses?
Other potenBal events for 2018-2019 • Have we already iden-fied events that CTLS could associate with or could co-organize? One of the goals is to avoid a loss of momentum • acer the CTLS2018 congress Core Management Workshop (CMW) in New York in the autumn of 2018, • followed by a similar CMW event in Europe in 2019: what could be the role of CTLS in these events? Help in adver-sing the events in exchange for reduced fees for CTLS members? Help in the organiza-on by proposing speakers? Help in the funding via bursaries? * Other events?
Strategic focus of CTLS The main principles were delineated by Spencer Shorte yesterday: • Inclusiveness, broadness of representa-vity, community drive, … Should we aim at wri-ng a brief “white paper” or “posi-on paper” • defining clearly the aims and specificity of CTLS ? Publica-on on the website … but also in a journal ? • (see for instance the paper that Core for Life published in 2016) Could serve as a global basis for advocacy: airac-ng members, fundraising, lobbying, …
Strategic focus of CTLS Beyond congresses and training events • What should be our ac-vi-es? CTLS as “provider of services” for the Core community Quality Management for “Scien-fic Research Services” • Technology Transfer and Shared Resources Management • Professional Mentorship (infrastructure, organisa-on, individual career • development, crisis & conflict management)
Membership strategy Launching of a “massive” campaign for ac-ve membership • using notably the CTLS2018 congress as an “airactor”: end of 2017 or January 2018? Use of the “CTLS2014-CTLS2016” mailing list • … but also other network mailing-lists (on a quid-pro-quo basis)? Ins-tu-onal partnership: • do we agree to use the “group membership scheme” as an ini-al step? Establishment of a list of ins-tu-ons/organiza-ons to approach before the end of 2017 (validated by the EC) or do we already start thinking about more formal partnerships (MoU template, …) Associate membership: • defining beier what this membership category is and what would be the benefits of membership for “commercial organiza-on” personnel Establishment of a target mailing-list: when and how to approach?
