Subject: ALT 13 (2019): Call for Host Venue Bids

 
The Association for Linguistic Typology now solicits bids for a conference
venue and host for ALT 13, 2019. The cycle for ALT 13 will return to Europe,
so we seek bids for that general geographic region. We invite bids especially
from places in Europe where ALT has not been before.

In order to be included for consideration by ALT's Executive Committee, please
reply to the ALT secretary and conference organizer, Kristine Hildebrandt
(khildeb at siue.edu), with responses to the following questions:

1. Organizing Committee

Who are proposed members of the local organizing committee? What is the
availability of administrative support at the host institution?

2. Location

Describe the availability of conference halls of various sizes. Describe also
the availability and accessibility of hotels and student accommodation.
Describe also the logistics of venue access, including access by airport/rail
and by local public transport. Keep in mind possible conflicts with respect to
timing, for example local holidays, events, celebrations, etc. in that
location.

3. Timing

Describe the preferred timing, keeping in mind that ALT normally takes place
during summer, and describe or justify timing alternatives (for example late
summer or early autumn), if available. Please keep in mind the availability of
conference halls, hotels etc. at your institution and in your area. Please
describe any possible combination and/or conflicts with other workshops or
conferences at the proposed time of year (e.g. the LSA Summer Institute in the
U.S., and the ICHL).

4. Finances

Please describe any potential funding sources (research councils, university
funding, or other sponsors) that can be used towards ALT 13. Describe also
options available from your institution for offering scholarships to students
and scholars from developing countries.

5. The Role of ALT

The local host institution is the primary organizing force for ALT
conferences. As such, the host is expected to have its own decision-making
process in place. However, ALT will serve an advisory role in particular
matters, including local organizing committee set-up, program committee
establishment, facilitating calls for abstracts and award organization, and
the ALT business meeting.

Please send this information or direct any questions to Kristine Hildebrandt
(khildeb at siue.edu) by 31 May, 2016. The Executive Committee will consider the
applications, with the intention of selecting the venue by 15 July, 2016.
