Call for proposals for F14

We invite all people interested in organizing the incoming edition Fq14 of the conference in 2019 to submit their proposals by 30 September 2017 to Guglielmo Lunardon in order for them to be evaluated by the scientific committee.
As to provide a rough estimate of the amount of resources involved, we observe that about 140 people attended Fq13. The overall costs of Fq13, including conference rooms, accommodation and travel expenses for the invited speakers, as well as the services and facilities offered to all of the participants (social dinner,coffee breaks, excursion, book of abstracts, bag and notepads) have been of approximately 35000 euro.
