ACADEMIC VISION
LIBEREC 2021 9th Regional Selection Conference of EYP Czech Republic
LIBEREC 2021 9TH REGIONAL SELECTION CONFERENCE
Hey there! My name is Lars and I am excited to, together with you, facilitate the management of the academics at this event. This document describes how I envision the session to be and to become, and I would love your input and support in order to make this the EYP event you have dreamed of the past months!
Creating momentum of the future by optimising the societal impact of innovation is what the session will revolve around. As per usual, the aim is to ensure all elements of the event embody the core principles of this session theme. I hope for the academic board of the session to work as a unit starting from the very beginning, which is why I am opting to refrain from outlining a full academic team vision. This way, I hope to add value to the session development process for those joining later on. I would like everyone on the team to start with a blank page, so as to strive for full empowerment by providing an optimal learning environment. Behind that blank page, participants can always find a cheat sheet for support, provided by anyone around with the knowledge, experience, or ideas to get those blank pages autonomously filled. In combination with a framework striving towards full empowerment, it goes without saying that I envision an open session atmosphere with room for mistakes and a lack of hierarchical structures. Walls and barriers should not be broken down if they were not built in the first place! I trust this rather vague approach provides you with insufficient structure to simply follow mine, as I await the many ideas to jointly build our own structure. Leaders, being all officials at this session, are created by the people who chose them. As you indirectly choose me by applying to this session, I will also let you create me and vice versa. You lead me as I lead you. If leadership were a one way street, it would be a fugazi!
