- Responsible
Tourism Awards
The Trophy Selection Committee of the 3rd Edition of the Responsible
Tourism Awards was held on the last 14 May in Paris, with the
purpose of choosing the nominees of the 2009 edition… Considering
the qualitative and quantitative evolution of the applications
received, the Selection Committee had to reorganize the different
trophies: First of all, the Trophy Selection Committee chose 4
nominees in the category Small Lodging Facility. On the other
hand, the Trophy Selection Committee made the decision to include
the categories “Tour operator” and “Travel agency”
under the same heading: Responsible tour. This decision is justified
for the following reasons: a reduced number of applications received
in the category “Agency” and the existence of a borderline
between the jobs of the candidates of these categories (tour operator,
agency and host). The Selection Committee chose 19 nominees for
the categories aimed at the main tourism agents and 3 Laureates
for the Trophy Humanitarian Trip, aimed at the general public.

Awards. Any projects that are in the fields of CULTURAL PRESERVATION
(music, crafts, literature, language, food, traditions, etc) and
HISTORIC PRESERVATION (architecture, buildings, archaeological
sites) are eligible. Nominated projects can be small or big, run
by a single individual or a larger non-profit organization, government,
or private company – as long as they are doing important
work in the preservation of buildings, historic sites, or culture
in general: food, music, art, dress, local traditions. Of special
interest are projects that use preservation as an engine for economic
development and support for local communities. The other important
thing is the timing: the project should either be nearing completion
or (fairly) recently completed, or just breaking ground –
something that signals momentum. Anyone who’d like to nominate
a project for these awards should contact Jaime Gross jaime_gross@yahoo.com
by 3 June 2009.
Please include either a brief description of the project (with
weblinks where available) or more detailed information such as
what the project has achieved so far in the realm of preservation,
what its upcoming goals are and why it's important.

- Mediterranean
projects of interuniversity scientific co-operation (MeRSI): call
2009 - Deadline 31 August 2009
Nowadays the Mediterranean area, influenced by the Union for the
Mediterranean, appears especially important as a place from the
point of view of the international scientific community. The 23
coastal countries are indeed united by a common history but also
by common challenges. In the first place one should consider the
issue of environment with the notions of sustainable co-development,
the impact of climate change and the issues of water or power
resources. Then, in a cultural and social scope, this region is
a centre of tensions but also of cultural and inter-religious
dialogue, although in the same way confronted with the question
of migratory flows that face the developed Northern border and
the more disadvantaged Southern border. All these issues and their
theoretical or applied developments are of direct interest to
the scientific community due to the exchange and transfer of new
and useful knowledge.
