WORKSHOP: The iConference 2017 Doctoral Colloquium

这笔资金是为了支持大约12名在美国的博士生(估计共有21名参与者)参与其中，他们已经完成了论文提案。与杰出的教师导师一起，在将于2017年3月22日至25日在武汉举行的第十二届iConference同时举行的关于信息科学研究的博士座谈会(研讨会)上，中国表示，这将是亚洲的第一次iConference。自2005年以来，iConference提供了一个论坛，来自世界各地的信息学者、研究人员和专业人士齐聚一堂，分享对当代社会关键信息问题的见解。对信息科学的新思想和研究领域持开放态度是这些活动的一个主要特点，这些活动成功地将原本很少相互交流的人们聚集在一起，从而有助于促进跨学科研究。最近的iConference吸引了大约500人参加，证明了与会者对鼓舞人心的社区意识、高质量的研究报告和无数参与机会的赞赏。ICaucus是由iCaucus主办的，iCaucus现在是美国和海外77所信息学校的联盟，致力于推动信息领域的发展，让学生为迎接21世纪的信息挑战做好准备。今年的主题是“影响、扩展、发展：跨信息界的全球合作”；有关更多信息，请访问http://ischools.org/the-iconference.。IConference博士座谈会传统上汇聚了最优秀的下一代跨学科研究人员，他们专注于信息和技术在社会背景下的相互作用，使他们能够在彼此之间以及与高级研究人员建立网络。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。2017年活动的组织者将积极努力，在机构类型、研究主题、方法方法、学科传统、性别、种族以及民族或文化背景等关键维度上最大限度地扩大多样性，以便学生在专业发展的关键阶段开阔视野。根据过去的经验，组织者预计21名被录取的学生中大多数将是女性，但至少将确保其中10人是女性。此外，任何一所大学都不会录取超过4名学生。博士座谈会将与会议体验紧密结合，首先是在技术项目期间突出具体内容的迎新活动，最后是全天专注于同行研究批评和职业发展，这些将与3月25日会议技术项目的闭幕会议重叠并立即结束。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，在其中他们可以分享和讨论他们的目标、方法和结果，以便从导师和其他学生那里获得对他们工作的反馈，这应该使他们能够加强他们的研究。学生学员将对从事信息科学研究的各个研究团体有更好的了解，并学习如何在该领域内定位他们的工作。此外，座谈会将为学生提供海报会议等机会，在自己的学科和机构之外建立新的职业联系，也将帮助他们成功启动职业生涯，无论是在行业还是在学术界。

This is funding to support participation by approximately 12 U.S.-based doctoral students (out of an estimated 21 total participants) who have completed their dissertation proposals. along with distinguished faculty mentors, in a doctoral colloquium (workshop) on information science research to be held in conjunction with the twelfth iConference that will take place March 22-25, 2017, in Wuhan, China, and which will be the first iConference in Asia. Since 2005, the iConferences have provided a forum where information scholars, researchers and professionals from around the world gather to share insights on critical information issues in contemporary society. An openness to new ideas and research fields in information science is a primary characteristics of these events, which have been successful in bringing together people who otherwise might rarely interact with one another, thereby helping to promote interdisciplinary research. Recent iConferences have drawn approximately 500 attendees, a testament to participants' appreciation for the inspiring sense of community, high quality research presentations, and myriad opportunities for engagement. The iConferences are presented by the iCaucus, now a consortium of 77 Information Schools in the United States and abroad dedicated to advancing the information field and preparing students to meet the information challenges of the 21st Century. This year's theme is "Effect, Expand, Evolve: Global collaboration across the Information Community"; more information may be found online at http://ischools.org/the-iconference. The iConference doctoral colloquia traditionally bring together the best of the next generation of interdisciplinary researchers focused on the interplay of information and technology in a social context, allowing them to develop a network both among themselves and with senior researchers. 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 of the 2017 event will proactively work to maximize diversity along such key dimensions as institution type, research topic, methodological approach, disciplinary tradition, gender, ethnicity, and national or cultural background, so that the students' horizons are broadened at a critical stage in their professional development. Based on past experience, the organizers expect a majority of the 21 accepted students will be women, but at a minimum will ensure that at least 10 of them are. Furthermore, no more than 4 students will be accepted from any single university.The Doctoral Colloquium will be tightly integrated into the conference experience, starting with an orientation event highlighting specific content during the technical program, and culminating in a full day focused on peer-research critique and career development which will overlap with and immediately follow the closing session of the conference technical program on March 25. 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 in order to gain feedback on their work both from the mentors and from other students, which should allow them to enhance their research. The student participants will come away with a better understanding of the various research communities engaged in the study of information science, and learn how to position their work within the field. In addition, the colloquium will provide students with opportunities such as poster sessions to make new professional connections beyond their own disciplines and institutions, and it will also help them successfully launch their careers whether in industry or academia.
