Rules for allocation of financial support for IGCP activities
1.
The Czech National Committee for International Geological Correlation Programme (further only CzNC-IGCP) at the Czech Geological Society agreed with the Czech Geological Society (further CGS), which is juridical subject, that the CzNC-IGCP will decide about finances which are directed to development of the IGCP activities from enlightened and serious sponsors or other uncommercial sources in science. Any subsidies sent directly to the Projects from their international leaders or the IGCP Secretariate of Paris (i.e. central IGCP-UNESCO/IUGS sources are exempt from control of the regional Committee.2.
Financial sources found by the CzNC-IGCP for development of the regional activities of the IGCP in Czech Republic are concentrated on special item of the CGS account, according to Agreement between CzNC IGCP and CGS from October 10, 1994 (archived by both relevant chairmen).3.
Activities of the CzNC-IGCP have uncommercial character and are aimed at development in Earth sciences, with respect to co-operating scientific disciplines. The financial sources found by the CzNC-IGCP should be primarily allocated to aid the following activities:3.1.
Participation of young scientific workers (35 years) in IGCP meetings and conferences in home or foreign countries.3.2.
Supporting the experienced, high-credit scientific workers at the opportunity of IGCP meetings, conferences or consultations.3.3.
Organisation of national or international conferences within the framework of the IGCP.3.4.
Supporting the publication activity related to IGCP projects.3.5.
On rare occasion, a complementary aid to research expenses of the national IGCP teams or individuals would be provided (laboratories at the institutes having the character of juridical subject).4.
Data and documents for allocation of the financial amounts for development of the IGCP activities4.1.
Each adult citizen of the Czech Republic (18 years) who can reliably demonstrate his participation in the scientific framework of the IGCP can submit application for the CzNC IGCP aid.4.2.
The written application, see the form "Application", must involve the following data:(a)
basic personal and professional data about the applicant,(b)
calculation of the amount (note: consider the recommended financial limits per application published usually in May!),(c)
reason of application, main goals,(d)
substantiation of the amount,(e)
brief letter of recommendation from the relevant, national IGCP project representative(s), as well as statement by representative of the organisation (institution, school).5.
Allocation of financial amounts5.1.
About grant finances must decide the regular assembly of the CzNC IGCP (note: on rare occasion can be used an electronic session!). Decisions are valid when majority of assembled members agree with them.5.2.
If any application is doubtful, the assembly can entrust certain member of the CzNC IGCP with investigation of such affair.6.
Documents about expenses are necessary, see the form "Report". These documents are essential for the CzNC IGCP as well as CGS. According to these documents the primary contributors can be informed about the final destination of their partial amounts. (note: this feedback is as significant as the basic requirements of accounting!). The IGCP workers with grants must deliver the report with quittances to the CzNC IGCP until one year from the date when support was transferred to the applicant.This document was printed and signed in four specimens. Each of the parties (CzNC IGCP and CGS) archived two specimens. This document is good since the date of signature but its effectivness is dated to May 1, 1996.
