Call for proposals: Geoscience in Society brochure

​

Geoscientists Canada and the Canadian Federation of Earth Scientists (“the Partners”) are seeking proposals to write and compose a national booklet describing the role of geoscience and the work of geoscientists in serving the needs of society. For the time being the working booklet title is Geoscience for Society – “G4S” for short. 

​

Project Overview

​

The overall project is to author, design, publish and distribute a strictly apolitical non-partisan plain language bilingual booklet for use in communicating on the role of geoscience in Canadian society to decision makers and the public.

There are three components to the project; 1) composing and writing content; 2) lay out and graphic design and visuals to achieve a finished product; and 3) French translation. 

​

While the booklet should be of interest and comprehensible to a non-technical reader, the desired target audience is the professional reader at a decision maker level. As examples, the G4S booklet should serve as a suitable information item to bring to a business meeting and leave with participants, to hand to an indigenous elder, MP, mayor, or senior regulator or policy planner. 

​

Proposals will be accepted until November 15th, 2016.
