WORKSHOP: iConference'15 Doctoral Research Colloquium

该奖项支持不同的美国博士生和杰出教师导师参加信息科学研究博士座谈会(研讨会)的现场住宿、生活和运营费用。它将与2015年3月24-27日在加州大学欧文分校主办的2015年iConference在加利福尼亚州纽波特海滩举行。IConference是iSchool社区的年度会议，是一个领先的论坛，将教职员工、学生、研究人员和行业从业者聚集在一起，共同关心支持和加强人类对信息和技术的参与。对广泛的参与者开放，iConference成功地围绕信息领域建立了一种社区感，将原本可能很少相互互动的人聚集在一起，并帮助促进了他们的跨学科研究。有关iConference的更多信息可以在http://ischools.org/the-iconference/.The 2015年iConference博士座谈会上在线找到，iConference博士座谈会将由27名精选的研究信息科学各方面的博士生以及大约9名杰出的教师导师组成。座谈会活动将贯穿整个会议，从3月25日的介绍会开始，到27日的全天活动结束。活动的核心将是在导师的指导下，以四人小组的形式对论文研究项目进行同行评议。博士座谈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，在其中他们可以在研究的早期阶段分享和讨论他们的目标、方法和结果。通过参加博士座谈会，学生将从导师和其他学生那里获得对他们工作的反馈，这将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，并学习如何在社区内定位他们的工作。此外，研讨会将为学生提供机会，在他们自己的学科和机构之外建立新的专业联系。更广泛的影响：iConference博士座谈会传统上将信息科学领域最优秀的下一代研究人员聚集在一起，使他们能够在他们自己之间以及与处于其专业发展关键阶段的高级研究人员建立一个社交网络。相关学科的广泛参与得到了鼓励，从而扩大了与会者对其研究主题的视角，促进了该领域的进步。组织者将积极努力，在机构类型、研究主题、方法方法、学科传统、性别、种族以及国家或文化背景等关键维度上最大限度地实现多样性。

This award supports on-site lodging, subsistence, and operational expenses for a diverse group of U.S. doctoral students and distinguished faculty mentors to participate in a doctoral colloquium (workshop) on information science research. It will be co-located with the 2015 iConference hosted by the University of California-Irvine and held in Newport Beach, California on March 24-27, 2015. The iConferences, the annual meetings of the iSchool community, are a leading forum that brings together faculty, students, research staff, and industry practitioners 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 promote their interdisciplinary research. More information about the iConference may be found online at http://ischools.org/the-iconference/.The 2015 iConference Doctoral Colloquium will be a meeting of 27 selected Ph.D. candidates studying all aspects of information science, along with approximately 9 distinguished faculty mentors. Colloquium activities will be woven throughout the conference, starting with an orientation on March 25th and culminating in an all-day event on 27th. The core of the event will be mentor-led, peer-critique sessions of dissertation research projects held in small four-person teams. 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 community. In addition, the colloquium will provide students with opportunities to make new professional connections beyond their own disciplines and institutions. Broader Impacts: The iConference doctoral colloquia traditionally bring together the best of the next generation of researchers in information science, allowing them to develop 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, thereby expanding attendees' perspectives on their topics of study and promoting advancement of the field. The organizers will proactively work to maximize diversity along such key dimensions as institution type, research topics, methodological approaches, disciplinary traditions, gender, ethnicity, and national or cultural backgrounds.
