Glorney Gilbert 2016 - To be hosted by England. Provisional dates are July 17th to 21st to be confirmed on or around April 2016.
I found this today from the Fide website. A proposal by the Slovakian Chess Federation to hold the 2016 World Youth U16 Olympiad. The dates are 21st-30th July.

The U16 Olympiad is a great event and costs are relatively low with the hosts providing free board and accommodation to a squad of five players plus a coach/ head of delegation.
But this is only a bid from Slovakia with proposed dates. Dates for this type of tournament can and do change after FIDE have awarded them to a host country.
The only tournament dates that pragmatically can be juggled at this stage of proceedings are
The British
The Glorney
The Scottish
The first of which is likely to become known in the next few days.
Perhaps it already is?
