INFOCON Grant Agreement signed!

Mon, 30 Jun 2008 00:00:00 GMT

The management team is very glad to announce that the INFOCON Grant Agreement was signed by the Commission, and entered into force on 17 July 2008. Now, INFOCON beneficiaries should provide the Annex IV – Form A duly signed, as well as the Consortium Agreement, so the project’s coordinator could guarantee the accession of all INFOCON partners to the Grant Agreement. Almost all partners have already provided Internationalist Review with the proper documents and the management team will conclude this step as soon as possible. The Internationalist Review would like to thank to all partners and also the European Commission for all the work that was done to make INFOCON a reality!

The INFOCON's kick-off meeting was concluded Tuesday, May 27, when the project was exhaustively discussed and the Consortium Members found the opportunity to network and highlight the challenges within the project in further detail.

Meeting with DIASPEACE

Wed, 07 May 2008 00:00:00 GMT

On May 6 2008, we were given the opportunity to participate in the kick-off meeting of the research project “Disaporas for Peace” (DIASPEACE). DIASPEACE is a research project on diaspora communities from the Horn of Africa. INFOCON has several things in common with the DIASPEACE project: both are concerned with issues related to transnational communities; both are financed under the Seventh Framework Programme by the European Commission; and both will carry out research during the same period 5 (2008-2011). This is why the coordinators of both projects decided to collaborate closely, especially on information sharing and joint dissemination activities.

INFOCON project started

Wed, 02 Apr 2008 00:00:00 GMT

Dear partners, dear friends, the Internationalist Review is proud to announce the official beginning of the INFOCON project on April 1 2008. We worked hard to build this project together with our partners from civil society and academia. Day after day since early 2007, we succesfully mounted this project along the novel idea that academic reasearch and community activism should work together to create knowledge on transnational communities.

Now, time has come to concretise our shared hopes!
