Young Researchers and Innovators
EUGAIN’s Young Researchers and Innovators (YRI) cohort brings together the new generation of early career academics in Computer Science to collaborate, network, and thrive through peer support.
Activities
Call for Team Members - Building bridges between Academia and Industry
EUGAIN’s large-scale event will be held in September 2023 in Trondheim, Norway, co-organized by ACM’s womENcourage conference. There will be two days for EUGAIN only: the first day will be a full day dedicated to talks and workshops with the theme of Building bridges between Academia and Industry. And it will be organized by some of us, Young Researchers.
We are looking for more people in our team. If you want to be part of the team that made the GenZ project possible and if you feel you could contribute to organizing a 1-day conference event in the given theme (Building bridges between Academia and Industry), we want to hear from you. People from any WGs are welcome! The more diverse we are, the better.
If interested, send our Coordinator a short application letter by March 24, 2023, containing:
- why you would like to join the team
- how you could contribute and
- add one specific idea (i.e., a track, a speaker, an activity, etc.)
GenZ Project
In this project, we have worked on enhancing gender balance and diversity specifically through reaching out to younger generations and attracting them to Computer Science. We have produced an Action Deliverable, highlighting the advantages of working in CS. In addition, we have created an online library of role model interviews on TikTok and YouTube.
