Tisztelt Kolléga!
Elnézést kérek, ha már máshonnan is megkapta ezt a levelet.
Egy olyan jelenségre hívjuk fel a figyelmét, amelyet orvosolva egy fillér pótlólagos forrás nélkül jelentosen javulnának a hazai kutatás-fejlesztés feltételei.
Biztosan Ön is találkozott már azzal a helyzettel, hogy kutatási célú pályázati pénzébol nem vehette meg a kiskereskedelemben 15 000 Ft-ért kínált irodabútort, 60 000 Ft-ért kínált számítógépet vagy egy 120 000 Ft-ért kínált laptopot, mert munkahelyének gazdasági szakemberei arra kényszerítették, hogy közbeszerzési szállítótól ugyanazt a bútort 60 000 Ft-ért, a számítógépet 150 000 Ft-ért, a laptopot 250 000 Ft-ért vegye meg.
Ha Ön közvetlenül a külföldi kiadótól igen olcsón szeretne beszerezni folyóiratokat, vagy a külföldi szállítótól az itthoninál gyorsabban, alacsonyabb áron és sokkal jobb minoségben szeretne vegyszereket venni, a gazdasági osztály számos esetben nem járul hozzá ehhez, vagy pedig aránytalanul sok adminisztrációt és papírmunkát kényszerít Önre.
Van olyan hazai egyetem, ahol a gazdasági vezeto azt követeli a kutatóktól, hogy ha nem a közbeszerzési szállítótól szerez be valamilyen - kisértéku - vegyszert, akkor három lemondó nyilatkozatot kell mellékelnie a közbeszerzési szállítóktól - az egyetem saját gazdasági osztálya részére (!) - arról, hogy a közbeszerzési szállítók nem tudják szállítani a szóban forgó vegyszert.
Történik ez egy olyan országban, ahol a nyugat-európaihoz képest igen szerény GDP-nek kevesebb, mint 1%-át fordítják kutatásra-fejlesztésre, és még ezekbol a ráfordításokból is ilyen fokú pazarlásra és felesleges adminisztrációra kényszerítik a kutatókat.
Biztosan sokan tudják, hogy a kutatóintézetek jelentos része nem tartozik a központosított közbeszerzés hatálya alá (például az MTA intézetei), és az EU-csatlakozás óta a felsooktatási intézmények sem tartoznak oda:
http://kszfweb.econet.hu/Default.aspx?content=WebParts\BasicServices\Docume…
Ha alaposan tanulmányozzuk a Közbeszerzési törvényt:
http://kszfweb.econet.hu/Default.aspx?content=WebParts\BasicServices\Docume…
akkor kiderül, hogy azokra a beszerzésekre, amelyek nettó értéke meghaladja az egyszeru közbeszerzési eljárás értékhatárát (2006-ban 8 000 000 Ft), de nem éri el a nemzeti értékhatár felét (2006-ban 15 000 000 Ft), három ajánlattévotol kell egyidejuleg ajánlatot kérni, illetve ezen érték fölött közbeszerzési eljárást kell lefolytatni.
Ezen beszerzési értékhatárok (igen, ebben az évben már 8 000 000 Ft!) alatt nem kell alkalmazni a közbeszerzési törvényt. Akkor miért nem vásárolhatjuk meg a legolcsóbb, leggyorsabb, legelonyösebb helyen a kutatásunkhoz szükséges eszközöket, anyagokat?
Így például, ha valamely kutatólaboratóriumnak azonnal szüksége van egy 500 Ft-os számítógép-kábelre, azt miért nem veheti meg tíz perc alatt a sarki boltban, még akkor sem, ha boven van rá pénze?
Azért, mert a kábel 500 Ft-os árát a gazdasági vezetok - tartva a közbeszerzési bírságtól - összevonják az egyetem vagy kutatóintézet összes számítástechnikai beszerzésével, amely egész évre számított nagysága természetesen már messze meghaladja a közbeszerzési eljárás értékhatárát.
Véleményünk szerint a különbözo kutatási pályázatokból fedezett beszerzések értékének jelenlegi összevonási gyakorlata több jogszabállyal, így foként a Közbeszerzési törvény 40. paragrafusával ellentétes.
Ezért - az ELTE "Grantfórum" levelezolistája számos tagjának részvételével -- petíciót készítettünk a Közbeszerzések Tanácsa elnökéhez, amelyben a jelenlegi abszurd helyzetet orvosolására egy ajánlás kiadását kérjük. Ezzel egy fillér pótlólagos forrás nélkül is jelentosen lehetne javítani a hazai kutatás-fejlesztés jelenlegi helyzetén és nagyban csökkenne az intézményi adminisztráció.
Kérjük, hogy olvassa el a petíciót a http://kutatok.org helyen, és ha egyetért vele,
- akkor, kérjük, írja alá (elektronikus úton),
- és jelen levelünket küldje el minél több magyarországi kutató, fejleszto ismerosének, munkatársának, doktoranduszoknak, mert csak akkor érhetünk célt, ha sok aláírást sikerül gyujtenünk.

Dear Collegues,
The Budapest Semester in Cognitive Science (BSCS) is a non-degree
undergraduate program for students from the US and other countries to
study abroad in the field of cognitive science from an interdisciplinary
persective. Lecturers of the Programme are established experts with
high-level international research and teaching experience.
The Program (now in its third year) is affiliated with Eotvos University
of Budapest (Hungary). It will start at the first week of September and
will be completed in the second week of December.
All courses are taught in English (but intro lectures about
the Hungarian language and culture also will be offered).
The deadline of application for 2006 is April 15,2006, but preliminary
inquiry is strongly ancouraged.

Formal Ontologies for Communicating Agents (FOCA)
http://www.loa-cnr.it/esslli06/
July 31 - August 4, 2006
organized as part of the European Summer School on Logic, Language and
Information
ESSLLI 2006 http://esslli2006.lcc.uma.es/
July 31 - August 11, 2006 in Malaga

WORKSHOP ORGANIZERS:
Roberta Ferrario (ferrario at loa-cnr.it)
Nicola Guarino (guarino at loa-cnr.it)
Laurent Prevot (prevotlaurent at gmail.com)
************************************************************************
******************
WORKSHOP PURPOSE:
In recent years lots of efforts have been devoted to formal studies of
human and artificial agent communication. Research advancements have
been achieved along three main lines: (i) agent's internal states and
dynamics, (ii) social interaction and conventional communicative
patterns, (iii) semantics-pragmatics interface - especially in the
dialogue context (i.e. the interplay between the semantic content of
messages and the communicative acts themselves). There is a recent
trend of studies trying to integrate these approaches in many ways. On
the other hand, formal ontology has been consecrated as a good solution
for comparing and integrating information and thus its application to
this specific domain is very promising . More precisely, an ontological
analysis of the fundamental ingredients of interaction and
communication will make explicit the hidden ontological assumptions
underlying all these proposals.
Ontology has also proven to be a very powerful means to address issues
related to the exchange of meaningful communication across autonomous
entities, which can organize and use information heterogeneously.
The purpose of the workshop is therefore to gather contributions that
(i) take seriously into account the ontological aspects of
communication and interaction and (ii) use formal ontologies for
achieving a better semantic coordination between interacting and
communicating agents.
*********************************************************
WORKSHOP TOPICS
We encourage contributions concerning the two main areas listed below
with a particular attention to explore the interplay between
ontological analysis and its applications in practical cases.
* Ontological aspects of interaction and communication
- Ontological analysis of interaction and communication
- Studies on the structure and coherence of interaction
- Logical models for communicative acts
- Primitives of interaction and communication
- Formal semantics of dialogue
*Semantic coordination through formal ontologies
- Dialogue semantics and formal ontology
- Dynamic ontology sharing
- Ontological primitives for meaning negotiation, ontological
alignment and semantic interoperability
- Ontology evolution through communication
- Concrete problems and experiences in terminological
disambiguation and integration
************************************************************************
******************
SUBMISSION DETAILS:
Authors are invited to submit an extended abstract describing original
contributions to the workshop topics. Submissions should range between
3 and 5 pages.
The following formats are accepted: .doc, .tex, .pdf (please, always
include source files).
Please send your submission electronically to the following email
address:
esslli06 at loa-cnr.it
by the deadline listed below. The submissions will be reviewed by the
workshop's programme committee and additional reviewers. The accepted
papers will
appear in the workshop proceedings published by ESSLLI. The
format for the final version will be .pdf.
A selection of the best papers accepted at the workshop will be
considered for publication in the international journal 'Applied
Ontology' (http://www.applied-ontology.org/).
************************************************************************
******************
WORKSHOP FORMAT:
The workshop is part of ESSLLI and is open to all ESSLLI
participants. It will consist of five 90-minute sessions
held over five consecutive days in the first week
