Annual Conference and Extra Ordinary General Meeting
We now have the pleasure
to invite you to Estonia to the CCB Baltic 09 Conference and the
Extra Ordinary General Meeting!
This year the CCB Baltic Conference and Extra Ordinary General Meeting
will be held in Vihterpalu, Pedase, Estonia. The programme starts
on Friday evening with registration and social event from 17.30
onwards and ends on Sunday afternoon with an excursion.
Eutrophication
and the Baltic Sea - challenges for environmental NGOs
is the theme for this year's Conference. During the conference we
will discuss the effects of eutrophication on the Baltic Sea ecosystem
and actions within CCB priority areas that can be taken to combat
eutrophication. The programme will be posted on the CCB home page
shortly.
Extra
Ordinary General Meeting
The Extra Ordinary General Meeting will be held on Sunday morning
before lunch.
Working Group Discussions on CCB Priority Areas
On Saturday afternoon there will be Working Groups about CCB priority
sub-areas. These discussions will be the base for the CCB Work programme
2010.
Poster Presentations
All participants are welcome to present their work connected to the theme of the Conference on a poster. Also posters presenting other work done within the CCB Member organisations connected to CCB Priority Areas are most welcome.
Language
The working language of the Conference will be English.
Excursions
On Sunday afternoon there will be an excursion.
Conference Venue
The Conference will be held at Pedase Hotel & Guesthouse in
Vihterpalu, Pedase. Accommodation and meals are provided at the
same location. Vihterpalu, Pedase is situated on the Baltic coast,
60 km west of Tallinn, but can unfortunately not be easily reached
by public transport. Therefore CCB will provide a bus that will
bring you from Tallinn to Pedase on Friday afternoon, and back again
after the excursion on Sunday.
Expenses
No admittance fee is charged for the conference. However if you
cancel less than ten days in advance you have to pay your own costs
for accommodation if no alternate is arranged.
For participants from CCB
member organisations and associated partners, CCB will
cover the costs for accommodation and meals.
Travel
Costs and Reimbursement
We urge member organisations to cover the travel expenses for their
participants.
Participants from Ukraine and Belarus: The travel
expenses will be covered from Sida-funding. Reimbursement will only
be paid for the most non-expensive and convenient way of travelling.
Participants from Russia: There will be funding
available for a limited number of participants from Russia.
Beyond that, there are very limited funds for reimbursement of travel costs for participants from Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia and Poland.
All reimbursement claims from all countries must be confirmed by the CCB secretariat!
No travel reimbursements will be made without confirmation given in advance! The travel costs will be reimbursed after the seminar when you submit to the CCB secretariat a reimbursement form and all your original receipts of your travels.
Please note that you have
to state your requested total amount for travel reimbursement (SEK/EURO),
local transport and potential Visa cost included, in the application
form. To keep the budget-line for the Baltic 09 conference, CCB
can only guarantee that you will get the amount that you have stated
in the application form.
When booking you travels please be aware of the CCB environmental travel policy that states that all journeys shorter than 400km must be undertaken by bus or train. Air travel can only be considered if the distance is longer than 400km.
Application
Fill in the registration form and send it by fax or e-mail to Sara
Nilsson at the CCB International Secretariat (secretariat@ccb.se).
Latest date: 26th of April
There will be
no reimbursements granted after the last day of registration (due
to administrative constraints) so for those of you that want to
apply for reimbursement it is essential to meet the deadline. Indicate
in the form if you apply for reimbursement or not.
Please note that
we only have room for a limited number of participants. We will
confirm to all applicants on their possible participation in the
Conference, so do not book your ticket before you have your participation
confirmed by the CCB International Secretariat!
Visa Application
For those of you who need Visa please contact Andre Zahharov. Please
send your passport data and home address, so that an invitation
can be sent to you for Visa application. Usually, you will be best
off with a "Schengen Visa", which will normally take up
to ten days to be granted.
If you have any questions,
do not hesitate to contact the CCB secretariat or Andre Zahharov!
