WORKSHOP: Doctoral Colloquium at the iConference 2013

这是资金支持旅行为美国博士生和杰出的教师导师的多元化群体参加博士座谈会（研讨会）的信息科学研究，将与2013年iConference将由北得克萨斯大学在沃斯堡主办2月11日至15日。 iConferences是iSchool社区的年度会议，是一个领先的论坛，汇集了教师，学生，研究人员和行业专家，他们对支持和增强人类参与信息和技术有着共同的兴趣。 iConferences向广泛参与开放，成功地围绕信息领域建立了一种社区意识，将原本可能很少相互交流的人聚集在一起，并帮助他们分享与跨学科研究有关的调查结果和交换意见。 有关iConference的更多信息，请访问http：//www.ischools.org/iConference13/participation。2013年iConference博士学术讨论会将于2013年2月15日（iConference的最后一天）举行，将是一个以研究为重点的会议，约有25名选定的博士。沿着约10位杰出的导师。 博士学术讨论会的主要目标是帮助培养下一代信息科学研究人员。 为此，它将为学生参与者提供一个环境，使他们能够在研究的早期阶段分享和讨论他们的目标，方法和结果。 通过参加博士研讨会，学生将从导师和其他学生那里获得关于他们工作的反馈，这应该使他们能够加强他们的研究。 学生还将更好地了解从事信息科学研究的不同研究社区，并学习如何在IS社区内定位他们的工作。 此外，座谈会将为学生提供机会，使新的专业连接超出自己的学科。更广泛的影响：iConference博士座谈会传统上汇集了信息科学和相关领域的下一代研究人员中最优秀的，使他们能够在自己之间以及与处于专业发展关键阶段的高级研究人员建立社交网络。 鼓励广泛的相关学科和方法参与，从而拓宽与会者对研究课题的看法，促进该领域的进步。 不超过一名学生将被接受从任何给定的机构，并优先考虑谁以前没有参加过iConference博士研讨会的学生。 组织者将积极努力，尽可能让妇女和少数民族代表参加学生活动。 作为这些步骤的结果，学生和教师的参与者将构成一个跨各种维度的多元化群体，这将有助于拓宽学生的视野，使该领域的未来受益。

This is funding to support travel for a diverse group of U.S. PhD students and distinguished faculty mentors to participate in a doctoral colloquium (workshop) on research on information science that will be co-located with the 2013 iConference to be hosted by the University of North Texas in Fort Worth on February 11-15. The iConferences, the annual meetings of the iSchool community, are a leading forum that brings together faculty, students, research staff, and industry practitoners with a common interest in supporting and augmenting human engagement with information and technology. Open to broad participation, the iConferences have been successful in building a sense of community around the information field, bringing together people who otherwise might rarely interact with one another, and helping them share findings and exchange views relating to their interdisciplinary research. More information about the iConference may be found online at http://www.ischools.org/iConference13/participation, The 2013 iConference Doctoral Colloquium, which will take place on February 15, 2013 (the final day of the iConference), will be a research-focused meeting of about 25 selected Ph.D. candidates studying all aspects of information science (IS), along with approximately 10 distinguished mentors. The primary objective of the Doctoral Colloquium is to help train the next generation of information science researchers. To this end, it will provide the student participants with an environment in which they can share and discuss their goals, methods and results at an early stage of their research. By participating in the doctoral colloquium, students will gain feedback on their work both from the mentors and from other students, which should allow them to enhance their research. Students will also develop a better understanding of the different research communities engaged in the study of information science, and learn how to position their work within the IS community. In addition, the colloquium will provide students with opportunities to make new professional connections beyond their own disciplines. Broader Impacts: The iConference doctoral colloquia traditionally bring together the best of the next generation of researchers in information science and related areas, allowing them to create a social network both among themselves and with senior researchers at a critical stage in their professional development. Participation is encouraged from a broad range of relevant disciplines and approaches, thereby broadening attendees' perspectives on their topics of study and promoting advancement of the field. No more than one student will be accepted from any given institution, and priority will be given to students who have not previously attended an iConference Doctoral Colloquium. The organizers will proactively work to include women and minority representation among the student participants to the extent possible. As a consequence of these steps, the student and faculty participants will constitute a diverse group across a variety of dimensions, which will help broaden the students' horizons to the future benefit of the field.
