Programm 1. Treffen des Netzwerks Aktionsplan Chancengleichheit (PDF, 442 KB)

Lecturer: Prof. Dr. Sune Lehmann from the Technical University of Denmark
Time: 18.15
Location: Kunsthalle Zürich, Limmatstrasse 270 (Tram Stop Dammweg or Escher Wyss Platz, Tram 4, 11, 13, 17)

Social networks have become prevalent in recent years due to online social networks such as Facebook and Twitter. However, the social embeddedness is neither new to human live nor limited to these online networks. In an unprecedented study at the Technical University of Denmark, 1000 freshman students were equipped with smartphones to study the dynamic social interactions within a large social system and across different levels of behaviour and communication. The smartphones collected information about face-to-face meetings (proximity estimated via Bluetooth), telecommunication (phone-calls, text messages), online social networks (Facebook friendships and interactions), geo-locations, wifi-signals, and a number of other data channels. Furthermore, participants answered questionnaires at multiple time points regarding their personality, study habits, and health-related behaviour.
The data collection lasted 2.5 years and resulted in a dataset that allows both, in-depth analysis of single individuals, small groups as well as insights into the dynamics of larger social networks. The talk will summarize the key findings from this seminal study, with an emphasis on communities in dynamic networks and human mobility.
Sune Lehmann is an associate professor at the Technical University of Denmark, an adjunct (full) professor at University of Copenhagen's Department of Sociology, and an adjunct associate professor at the Niels Bohr Institute (Department of Physics, University of Copenhagen). He is the associate director of the Center for Social Data Science at University of Copenhagen. Sune's work focuses on the dynamics of complex networks as well as processes unfolding on such evolving networks. He is the author of multiple papers in high-impact journals such as Nature an PNAS and his work has received world-wide press coverage.

Dear colleagues of the DSI network

We would like to invite PhD students, PostDocs, and Research Fellows to the first Breakfast of Ideas on January 25th, 2019!

The Breakfast of Ideas is aimed at connecting PhD students, PostDocs, and Research Fellows that work on issues of digitalization. We plan on having four yearly informal breakfast meetings in which participants present their research outputs or ideas and get feedback from an interdisciplinary peer group. We want to apply for a GRC peer monitoring grant, which would cover the associated costs.

What would we want from you?

• Participation in the informal discussions with 10-15 peers.
• A one-time 5-10 minute presentation (no slides needed) on your current research.
• So that we can apply with the GRC, we would like you to commit to joining three out of the four sessions of the Breakfast of Ideas (end of January, end of March, end of June, and end of October 2019).

What do you gain from participating in the Breakfast of Ideas?

• A fresh and healthy breakfast;
• Being able to present your research to an interdisciplinary group in an informal setting;
• Networking with various PhD students and Postdocs from different fields;
• First-hand insights from other disciplines.
• Strengthen competences for interdisciplinary work.

How will it work?

• During our quarterly breakfast session at the UZH you listen to input presentations (5-10 minutes). After that there will be a 15-20 minutes open discussion. Per breakfast, we will likely have three input presentation and the get-together should last between 60 and 90 minutes.
• We plan on recording the session and offering them as a podcast on the DSI and ITSL webpage; If you have reservation regarding your talk being published, e.g. because you do not want the ideas to be published just yet, this will be respected.

If you are a PhD student, PostDoc, or Research Fellow and interested in joining the Breakfast of Ideas get-together, please email us by October 7th (email to: aurelia.tamo-larrieux@uzh.ch or damian.george@rwi.uzh.ch)

Best,

Damian and Aurelia

Liebe Kollegen aus dem DSI Netzwerk,

Wir möchten Doktorierende, PostDocs und Research Fellows herzlich zum ersten Frühstück der Ideen (Breakfast of Ideas) am 25. Januar 2019 einladen!

Das Breakfast of Ideas soll Doktorierende, PostDocs und Research Fellows, die sich mit Fragen der Digitalisierung beschäftigen, zusammenbringen. Wir planen vier jährliche, informelle Frühstückstreffen, bei denen die Teilnehmenden ihre Forschungsergebnisse oder -ideen vorstellen und Feedback von einer interdisziplinären Peer Group erhalten. Wir wollen einen GRC Peer Monitoring Grant beantragen, der die damit verbundenen Kosten deckt.

Was erwarten wir von den Teilnehmenden?

• Teilnahme an den informellen Gesprächen mit 10-15 Peers.
• Eine einmalige 5-10-minütige Präsentation (keine Folien erforderlich) über Ihre aktuelle Forschung.
• Damit wir uns beim GRC bewerben können, bräuchten wir eine Zusage, an drei der vier Sitzungen des Frühstücks der Ideen teilzunehmen (Ende Januar, Ende März, Ende Juni und Ende Oktober 2019).

Was bringt es dir, am Frühstück der Ideen teilzunehmen?

• Du erhältst ein frisches und gesundes Frühstück;
• Du kannst deine Forschung einer interdisziplinären Gruppe in einem informellen Rahmen präsentieren;
• Du kannst mit verschiedenen Doktorierenden und Postdocs aus verschiedenen Bereichen netzwerken.
• Einblicke aus erster Hand aus anderen Disziplinen.
• Stärkung der Kompetenzen für interdisziplinäres Arbeiten.

Wie wird es funktionieren?

• Während unserer vierteljährlichen Frühstückssitzung an der UZH hörst du Input-Präsentationen (5-10 Minuten) von verschiedenen Teilnehmenden. Danach wird es eine 15-20-minütige offene Diskussion geben. Pro Frühstück werden wir voraussichtlich drei Input-Präsentationen haben und das Ganze sollte zwischen 60 und 90 Minuten dauern.
• Wir planen, die Präsentationen und Diskussionen aufzuzeichnen und als Podcast auf der DSI- und ITSL-Webseite anzubieten; wenn du aber Bedenken bezüglich der Veröffentlichung deines Vortrags hast, z.B. weil du nicht möchtest, dass deine Ideen bereits veröffentlicht werden, werden wir dies respektieren.

Wenn du Doktorand*in, PostDoc oder Research Fellow bist und daran interessiert bist, am Breakfast of Ideas teilzunehmen, senden uns bitte bis zum 7. Oktober eine Email (an: aurelia.tamo-larrieux@uzh.ch oder damian.george@rwi.uzh.ch)

Herzliche Grüsse,
