Temporary Guidelines for Application – August 30, 2015
The following guidelines set the short-term registration procedure of Euclid Consortium membership requests that applies temporarily until the online web-based registration portal is available.
All membership requests should be sent to the host country national ECB members, as stated on this Euclid webpage (see below) or, if appropriate (e.g. non-euclid countries or “other” members), sent to ECL Yannick Mellier.
This procedure covers requests for new membership and updated membership requests e.g. moving country, moving institute, and changing career status (e.g.. graduating students).
There is a twice yearly review of all Euclid membership requests by the full ECB, usually January and July.
The registration process is a four steps procedure:
- Email request to ECB national representatives with details of membership change (new or updated)
- ECB national representatives will check the email is from a valid institutional email address; no generic email address allowed e.g. gmail, etc.
- ECB national representatives will judge the request and make a choice between “obvious” or “not obvious”.
- To help ECB members to decide if a request of “obvious” or not, below are some examples. It is at the discretion of the ECB member to seek advice on the request from other EC members (e.g. SWG chairs, OU leaders, etc).
- Obvious
– Existing EC member (with permanent job) moving institution in same country.
– Existing EC member (with permanent job) moving institutions between european countries.
– Staff paid directly to work on EC work (via space agencies etc)
– Students of existing EC members until their PhD defence provided a email of support by the supervisor if joined to the application
– Postdocs of existing EC members especially if they are undertaking EC work
– New requests for EC membership with a clear benefit to existing EC work - Non-obvious
– New requests for EC membership without clear justification or benefit to EC work
– Requests for EC membership from non-ESA countries or existing EC member countries.
– Students / postdocs of existing EC members moving to a new institution but with no obvious benefit to EC work
- ECB national representatives forward email request to ECL, with subject message “EC Membership Request”, including a statement at the top of the email saying obvious or not obvious. Additional information can be provided to justify this judgement.
- If the judgement is “obvious” then the addition, or change, to the membership database is made without further discussion or validation.
- If the judgement is “not obvious”, then the membership request is only “pre-registered” in the EC membership database, and the case will be discussed further, alongside other requests, as part of the usual twice yearly membership review. Membership is not granted until the case has been discussed by the full ECB.
- The national ECB representatives will email the candidate with the result of their judgement. If the candidate is “pre-registered” (not obvious) they will inform the member that they will only be added to the euclid-wide email list (to receive general information), and they are free to attend the collaboration meetings and contact the working group and OU chairs to discuss their likely contributions to Euclid. They should be informed that their membership will be discussed further and is not yet final.
- Before final registration new EC members will receive the EC Management Document and the EC Publication Policy Document and must send an email to the ECL with the following acceptance subject heading “I accept the EC pub \ membership policies” as a confirmation that they read them and accept the rules and the rights and duties described in these documents that all EC members have to follow.
