Abstract

For the European Student Chapter (ESC), the Annual Meeting kicked off Saturday evening with the opening of our miniBARcamp. Beside the presentation of the winning video of the Movie Meets Science Contest from Tjaša Jug, this innovative experimental project included an open discussion aimed at bringing together students and researchers from all over the world. We had an interesting time with inspired discussions and great guests. The next day, Sunday the 16th, was the official start of the conference.

Our first meeting was the Chapter Assembly which brought us a little surprise in the form of an award for our chapter: We won 3rd place in the Student Membership Growth competition!

What a promising start for the day – and we were not disappointed. After the plenary session with Greg Welch, University of Central Florida, ESC was involved in an exciting panel session about Open Innovation in Smart Cities: Civic Participation and Co-creation of Public Services. Agnes Mainka, her advisor Wolfgang Stock from Duesseldorf and Walter Castelnovo from Milan discussed actual developments in co-creation of public services and the role of information science within it. An important finding of Agnes was that open space is one of the key factors in a modern library. After the panel, we took part in the ASIS&T Leadership Development Program held by Ixchel Faniel on the topic Building and Cultivating your Mentoring Network. In small groups we discussed the role of mentors at our institutions. The day ended with SIG Rush and the student reception, a nice opportunity to get to know the goals and activities of the various ASIS&T special interest groups and to meet other students in an informal way.

The following days also provided good opportunities for networking, interesting discussions and showcasing the European (Student) Chapter. Just to mention a few examples, we represented the ASIS&T community in Europe at the European Chapter Table, had an active exchange of ideas on diversity with Toni Carbo and Nadia Caidi at the Diversity and Inclusion Luncheon and contributed to the International Reception with a basket from Duesseldorf. In the Poster Session both Agnes Mainka and Isabella Peters discussed the importance of information science by summarizing the topics that were raised in the protest against the closing of the Department for Information Science at the University of Duesseldorf.

Yet another important event, particularly for students and new members eager to get to know the leaders of the organization, is the Annual Awards Lunch. For many participant this was not only the last social event of the meeting, but also time to say goodbye to the first Annual Meeting held in Europe.

The European Student Chapter enjoyed the time in Copenhagen. The Annual Meeting is always an excellent change to meet important people in the ASIS&T community and to expand your network. For students in particular, ASIS&T reaches out in a number of ways. For those who might need a little extra cash to facilitate a trip to the Annual Meeting, different awards, contests and programs arise from year to year. For instance, Tjaša won a trip to Copenhagen via the Movie Meets Science Contest sponsored by jointly by the European Student Chapter and the European Chapter. Other programs, like the New Leaders Award, support students financially if they are active ASIS&T members. Once in attendance at the meeting, students are addressed specifically with various activities, such as this year's Student Reception, Student Design Competition and Doctoral Seminar.

For those of us planning careers in the information profession, there's never a shortage of opportunities to meet the people who might help us out in years ahead. Thus, come and join this awesome community next year in Washington, DC!

哥本哈根报告:一个欧洲学生对欧洲ASIS&T的看法
对于欧洲学生分会(ESC)来说,随着我们的miniBARcamp的开幕,年会在周六晚上拉开帷幕。除了展示来自Tjaša Jug的电影与科学竞赛获奖影片外,这个创新的实验项目还包括一场公开讨论,旨在将来自世界各地的学生和研究人员聚集在一起。我们度过了一段有趣的时光,讨论很有启发性,嘉宾也很棒。第二天,16号星期天,会议正式开始。我们的第一次会议是分会大会,这给我们带来了一个小小的惊喜:我们在学生会员成长比赛中获得了第三名!这是一个充满希望的开始,我们并没有失望。在与中佛罗里达大学Greg Welch的全体会议之后,ESC参与了一个令人兴奋的小组会议,主题是“智慧城市的开放式创新:公民参与和共同创造公共服务”。Agnes Mainka和她的顾问来自杜塞尔多夫的Wolfgang Stock以及来自米兰的Walter Castelnovo讨论了公共服务共同创造的实际发展以及信息科学在其中的作用。阿格尼斯的一个重要发现是,开放空间是现代图书馆的关键因素之一。小组讨论结束后,我们参加了由Ixchel Faniel举办的asis&&t领导力发展项目,主题是“建立和培养你的师徒网络”。在小组中,我们讨论了导师在我们机构中的作用。当天的活动以学生招待会结束,这是一个很好的机会,让我们了解了各种特殊兴趣小组的目标和活动,并以非正式的方式认识了其他学生。接下来的几天也提供了很好的交流机会,有趣的讨论和展示欧洲(学生)分会。仅举几个例子,我们在欧洲分会会议上代表asist在欧洲社区,在多样性和包容性午宴上与托尼·卡波和纳迪亚·卡迪就多样性问题积极交流意见,并在杜塞尔多夫国际招待会上赠送了一个篮子。在海报环节中,Agnes Mainka和Isabella Peters总结了抗议杜塞尔多夫大学关闭信息科学系时提出的话题,讨论了信息科学的重要性。另一项重要活动是年度颁奖午餐会,这对渴望了解组织领导的学生和新成员来说尤为重要。对许多与会者来说,这不仅是会议的最后一次社交活动,也是向在欧洲举行的第一届年会说再见的时候了。欧洲学生分会在哥本哈根度过了愉快的时光。年会始终是结识asist社区重要人士并扩展您的网络的绝佳机会。特别是对学生来说,asist以多种方式伸出援手。对于那些可能需要一点额外的钱来参加年会的人来说,不同的奖项、比赛和项目每年都会出现。例如,Tjaša通过由欧洲学生分会和欧洲分会联合主办的电影遇见科学竞赛赢得了哥本哈根之旅。其他项目,如新领袖奖,如果学生是ASIS&T的活跃成员,就会为他们提供经济支持。一旦参加了会议,学生们就会特别参加各种活动,比如今年的学生招待会、学生设计比赛和博士研讨会。对于我们这些计划从事信息行业的人来说,永远不会缺少机会去认识那些可能在未来几年帮助我们的人。因此,明年来华盛顿特区加入这个很棒的社区吧!
