Report from the board:
Chairman Lis
Alban shortly resumed the considerations behind the choice of host for the

because it would be too expensive for Ph.D. students, and NOSOVE still
encourage Ph.D. students to participate in the courses. Hence, Denmark was
chosen as host for 2008.

and Anna-Maija has been co-opted to the board.

Treasurer
Ann Lindberg (S) presented the accounts. See copy of report. Last

Spatial
Planning).

Anna-Maija Virtala presented a worst case scenario of the budget for the
coming SVEPM 2007. The Annual meeting of ECVPH will be in fall 2007 in
Finland, and will therefore not interfere with SVEPM. SVEPM 2007 (in
collaboration with NOSOVE) will take place from 28- 30 March 2007. It was
agreed that NOSOVE’s board will do their best to assist Anna-Maija and the
Finnish organising group in organising this meeting. Important tasks are:
1) Recalculation of the budget to a realistic budget, 2) and contact to
possible sponsors. This should be made/started within this spring and the
budget presented at the SVEPM board meeting in March 2006.
12.
Proposal: Nosove donation 1000 Euros for SVPM 2007. Accepted.
Any
other business: if anybody has a good idea on courses and workshops, then
please forward it to a board member. Nils Toft proposed a course on
Bayesian statistics by use of WinBugs. Nils volunteered to be a teacher at
such a course. Anna-Maija was asked to find a local Finnish organizer that
could assist in organising such a course in conjunction with the SVEPM
meeting.
13.
Closing
After
the meeting the idea was put forward that Iceland would be organising the
NOSOVE meeting in 2008. Audur Arnthorsdottir (IS) agreed to check out
possibilities and get back to the board about this. Lis Alban offered to
help in the organisation of such a course.

The 2007 meeting will take place in Espo that is located close to
Helsinki. It is easily accessible from Helsinki airport. Anna-Maija is the
local organiser, and she has taken contact to a professional company, that
will be organising for us. Student discount is aimed for – Dirk Pfeiffer
encouraged it. Affordable hotels and agreement with airline would also
make it cheaper. Student reductions are strongly supported by the NOSOVE
general assembly. The meeting will take place the last Wed / Thu / Fri in
March 2007 (2006 in Exeter). A NOSOVE course will be arranged adjacent to
the SVEPM/ NOSOVE meeting. Dirk suggested to look into the opportunity of
