I thought that such a guide would be useful, especially now that we are organizing a workshop together with collaborators that experience this for the first time.

This is a first draft, we will need to add a lot more.

@IshaanDesai @carme-hp have I forgotten anything regarding the fields we typically add in the registration and abstract submission forms?

  • Last year, the abstract submission form also contained the option to ask for an invitation letter.
  • The registration form also included questions about a special diet requirements and childcare requirements.
  • Regarding the finances, we should add a point on travel awards. The Invited speaker is expected to have a travel award. (And so would be an external course-instructor!). We might also consider travel awards for participants with limited budget and members of the preCICE team.

- "save the date" announcement: one year ahead
- call for contributions (needs a form): open six months ahead. An early call mainly acts as advertisement.
- open registration (needs a form): six months ahead. Early registration is important for participants that need a visa application to travel.

Sounds too early to me. Of course, early does not hurt. Visa application should only depend on the contribution, not on the registration, no?

- abstract submission deadline and call acceptance: the earlier the better. Can be after the early-bird registration deadline. The call acceptance can be as short as one week after the deadline.

Why after the early-bird registration deadline? Should be before, no?

- abstract submission deadline and call acceptance: the earlier the better. Can be after the early-bird registration deadline. The call acceptance can be as short as one week after the deadline.
- early-bird registration deadline: important for estimating the number of participants, driven by the catering requirements.
- request catering offers: typically 1-2 months before the workshop.
- reserve tables for the workshop dinner: typically 1-2 months before the workshop.

The abstract submission form should collect:

- Kind of contribution (talk or poster, if offered)
- Presenter

I am not sure if we have collected the list of authors in the past.
On the one hand, it would help us identify where the contribution comes from.
On the other hand, it might be an obstacle to people that first need to discuss a seemingly final authors list (depends on the local culture).

I would suggest having an explicit note next to it:
