Материалы конференции

(информационное письмо, программа конференции)

Ежегодно в мире организуются сотни разнообразных международных научных встреч (scientific meetings). Большинство из них проходит в форме конференций (conferences), симпозиумов (symposia, ед.ч. symposium) коллоквиумов (colloquia, ед.ч. colloquium) и семинаров (seminars / workshops).

Регулярно собираются сессии (sessions) и генеральные ассамблеи (general assemblies, ед.ч. assembly) научных обществ и союзов. Проводят свои совещания (meetings) члены различных международных комитетов и комиссий. Периодически международные ассоциации организуют представительные конгрессы (congresses). Популярны среди ученых деловые по характеру и образовательные по своей сути школы-семинары (schools / short courses /study days / institutes / teach-ins).

Подготовка научной конференции начинается, как правило, с определения ее темы (theme of the conference / conference theme): 15th Pacific Science Congress. Theme: Conservation, development and utilization of the resources of the Pacific.

Обычно формулируется основная (central / major theme), или официальная, тема (official theme) конференции, которая может допускать широкий выбор вопросов для обсуждения (topics for discussion): “To provide a focus for the meeting, without in any way restricting the topics for discussion, the ISA (International Sociological Association) Executive Committee chose an official theme: Sociological Theory and Social Practice”.

Иногда задается общая тема конференции (general theme), которая разбивается на несколько подтем (subthemes): “The general theme of the Congress: “Mankind’s Future in the Pacific”. This will be developed through seven

related subthemes: “Energy and Mankind”, “Nutrition and the Future of Mankind”,

“Options for Man’s Future: A Biological View”, etc.

Устроителями научной конференции, обеспечивающими, в частности, ее финансовую поддержку (sponsors of the conference / conference sponsors), являются, как правило, несколько организаций (sponsoring organizations): “The Conference is sponsored by the International Union of Pure and Applied Physics, the American Physical Society and the University of Oregon”. Многочисленные вопросы подготовки и проведения конференции, а также обслуживания ее участников находятся в ведении организационного комитета (organizing committee). Нередко для разработки научной программы конференции, приглашения и отбора ее участников формируется программный комитет (program committee). Встречаются и другие разновидности комитетов: местный организационный (local organizing/local arrangements committee), национальный организационный (national organizing committee), дамский (ladies’ committee), ответственный за программу для жен участников и членов их семей, и т.д. Каждый из комитетов возглавляется председателем (chairman of the committee / committee chairman). Один из организаторов конференции исполняет обязанности ее руководителя в целом (general chairman). Вся документация конференции находится в ведении ее секретаря (organizing secretary / secretary of the conference / conference secretary). Ключевые позиции на конгрессе занимают президент (president of the congress / congress president) и генеральный секретарь (secretary-general).

Когда принципиальные вопросы, связанные с организацией конференции, решены, и возможность ее проведения не вызывает сомнений, в соответствующих научных изданиях появляется информация о конференции в виде приглашения на присылку материалов докладов (call for papers). В этих публикациях указываются, в частности, сроки представления названия (title) и кратких тезисов (short abstracts) предполагаемого сообщения: “Titles and short abstracts should be submitted no later than January 31, 2005”. В них также даются сведения о размерах тезисов и правилах их оформления: “A 300-word abstract, typed double-spaced (for a 15-minute presentation) should be submitted by April 30, 2005”. Далее могут следовать заверения в том, что все тезисы будут рассмотрены, и каждый автор будет своевременно информирован о решении организаторов конференции: “All abstracts will be acknowledged. You will be informed by August 31, 2005 whether your abstract has been accepted”.

В ряде случаев необходимо представлять подробные тезисы (extended abstract) или два вида материалов: тезисы и автореферат выступления (summary of the presentation): “Each author will be expected to submit the following material: a 50-word abstract of the paper, a summary of the presentation (up to four pages)”. Принятые тезисы, как правило, оформляются в виде сборника (volume of abstracts / abstracts volume), который распространяется перед началом конференции. В настоящее время все чаще практикуется ознакомление участников с полными текстами докладов, отобранных для представления на конференции. В связи с этим предварительно публикуются материалы докладов в научных изданиях и даже выпускаются отдельные сборники докладов. В этом случае в информационном сообщении указывается срок представления рукописи доклада (manuscript of the paper): “In case your abstract is accepted you will be required to submit a final manuscript of your paper by December 31, 2005”.

О научной конференции можно также узнать из информационных писем или циркуляров (announcements / circulars), рассылаемых заинтересованным научным учреждениям и отдельным ученым. Как правило, первое такое письмо (first announcement/circular) является одновременно и приглашением для участия в конференции: “The International Federation for Information Processing (IFIP) cordially invites you to the World Conference on Computers in Education to be held in Switzerland in July 2005”. Обычно в этом циркуляре имеется специальная заявочная форма (application / registration form), которая после заполнения отправляется по указанному адресу.

Ученые, откликнувшиеся на приглашение, попадают в список рассылки (mailing list) и соответственно обеспечиваются всеми информационными материалами по мере их публикации. Не включенные в список должны обращаться непосредственно в организационный комитет конференции. Об этом они могут узнать из объявления в научном журнале: “Further information will be sent only to those who have accepted the invitation. Those who are not included on the mailing list should contact the Organizing Committee”. Основанием для участия в конференции может быть и личное приглашение, например, организатора (convener/organizer) секции конгресса: “I extend to you a cordial personal invitation to participate in the sessions of this Section and to join the Congress Symposia and other Section meetings”.

В ряде случаев решающим подтверждением участия в конференции помимо выражения принципиального согласия и отправки соответствующих документов и научных материалов является внесение регистрационного взноса (registration fee). Иногда важно внести этот взнос как можно раньше, ибо число участников конференции ограничено, и их регистрация проводится в хронологическом порядке (first-come basis registration): “Participation will be restricted to about 75 registrants in order to encourage audience interaction. Registration will be open on a first-come basis and is scheduled to be closed on or before I May 2005 depending on the response”.

Внесение регистрационного взноса дает участникам право воспользоваться рядом дополнительных услуг, например, получить экземпляр тезисов или докладов, стать обладателем билета на прием или выставку и т.д. На что именно расходуется данный взнос, можно узнать из информационного сообщения: “Registration fee includes: participation in the Conference, a copy of the Proceedings and entrance to the Exhibition”.

Обычно в информационном сообщении указываются рабочие языки (working languages) конференции: “Papers may be delivered in English, French or German, preferably English”.

В бюро регистрации (registration desk) участники конференции получают специальный комплект печатных материалов (registration kit/package/file), в который обычно входит сборник тезисов, программа конференции (conference program), путеводитель (guide/guidebook) или карта-схема городских улиц (street-map), различные памятки (leaflets/pamphlets), содержащие полезную для участников информацию.

Основные сведения о конференции обычно содержатся в буклете- программе (program booklet). Оперативная информация размещается на досках объявлений (notice boards) и демонстрационных щитах (bulletin boards). На представительских научных форумах выпускаются бюллетени новостей (news bulletins). Об их содержании и периодичности выхода можно узнать из программы конференции: “News Bulletins will be issued as required. Watch for them at the Registration desks. They will contain late program changes and special announcements of interest to the delegates”.

К услугам всех прибывших на конференцию существует справочное бюро (information desk), где можно получить исчерпывающую консультацию по различным вопросам, связанным с обслуживанием участников и организацией их свободного времени. На это обращает внимание следующее объявление: “The Information Desk consults the attendees for all general information including: entertainment, dining out, sightseeing, transportation, Internet and (photocopier) facilities”.

На научных конференциях широко используется современное звуко-усилительное (public address system) и аудиовизуальное оборудование (audiovisual equipment): слайдпроекторы (slide projectors), видеомагнитофоны (videorecorders), power point системы. При демонстрации экспериментов в лабораторных условиях эффективно работает система замкнутого телевидения (closed circuit television). Для участников научной конференции обычно разрабатываются две программы: научная (scientific / technical program) и культурная (social program).

Начинается конференция специальным заседанием (ceremonial session / opening ceremony). Открывается конференция, как правило, приветственной речью (welcome address) одного из руководителей конференции.

На пленарных заседаниях (plenary sessions) выступающие (speakers) представляют соответственно пленарные доклады (plenary addresses / lectures / talks / papers) и в ряде случаев основные доклады, определяющие ход всей конференции (keynote addresses / papers). Основной докладчик (keynote speaker) является, как правило, известным ученым, признанным авторитетом в своей области: “The keynote speaker will be Professor Brown, a distinguished economist from the University of London, who will talk about the past, present and future of economics”.

Большой аудитории обычно адресуются обзорные (overview / review papers) и отчетные доклады (reports). Нередко организационный комитет предоставляет участникам возможность провести незапланированное заседание (impromptu meeting), если те высказывают такое пожелание. Об этом можно узнать, например, из такого объявления: “Groups wishing to hold impromptu meetings in the evening after the regular program may ask for room assignment from the Mexican Local Organizing Committee”.

В основном все представленные на конференцию научные доклады (papers /scientific contributions) можно разделить на доклады по приглашению (invited / solicited papers) и доклады, заявленные по инициативе самих участников (contributed / free / uninvited papers). Последние, как правило, составляют программу параллельно идущих секционных заседаний (concurrent /parallel sessions), часто называемых симпозиумами (symposia): “The meeting contains 90 invited papers and 230 contributed papers organized into 24 symposia”.

Отдельные доклады могут носить образовательный (обучающий) характер (tutorial papers): “The program will consist of invited and contributed papers, as well as workshop sessions. Some of invited papers will be tutorial in nature”. Возможен и такой вариант, когда предложенные темы обсуждаются до конференции в рабочих группах (working parties / groups), а затем представители этих групп (rapporteurs of working parties / groups) делают основные доклады (lead papers) на пленарных заседаниях: “The lead papers presented in plenary sessions represented experience in several different countries as well as in international institutions”. При ограничении во времени, особенно при отсутствии параллельных заседаний, один докладчик (rapporteur of grouped papers) представляет ряд докладов в сгруппированном виде. Иногда проводятся совместные заседания (joint meeting) отдельных секций или даже конференций, чтобы их участники, представители разных областей науки, могли обсудить общие проблемы. На конференциях нередко устраиваются специальные лекции (special lectures) для участников, а также публичные лекции (public lectures) для всех желающих, с которыми выступают известные ученые или общественные деятели.

Важным элементом любой научной конференции является обсуждение докладов, или дискуссия (discussion), которой обычно руководит председатель заседания (chairman of the session / session chairman). Используется и такая форма, как обмен мнениями с участием ведущих специалистов в присутствии широкой аудитории (panel discussion). Выступающие на этой встрече (panelists / members of the panel) освещают темы, предлагаемые ее ведущим (chairman of the panel discussion), и отвечают на вопросы коллег. Проводятся на научных конференциях и обсуждения за “круглым столом” (round table discussions / round tables). В последние время стали пользоваться успехом стендовые заседания (poster sessions), во время которых авторы-демонстраторы (presenters) представляют так называемые стендовые сообщения (posters / poster papers / poster presentations). Обычно параллельно с проведением конференции организуются тематические выставки (exhibitions / exhibits / displays), в том числе имеющие коммерческий интерес (commercial exhibitions): “There will be a commercial exhibition of ultrasound equipment with the conference. Companies interested in exhibiting should contact the Conference organizer”; устраиваются демонстрации оборудования, приборов и материалов (shows/demonstrations): “The Physics show, where manufacturers present the latest models of research instruments, apparatus and materials, will be organized by the American Institute of Physics”. Гости конференции имеют возможность принять участие в различного рода профессиональных экскурсиях (professional / technical excursions), в том числе полевых экскурсиях (field excursions / trips). Успех научной конференции во многом определяется и тем, как подготовлена культурная программа и составляющие ее разнообразные мероприятия (social events), ибо именно в свободное время между участниками устанавливаются контакты, столь необходимые для плодотворного научного общения [14].

10. INFORMATION FOR PRESENTERS AND “PAPER FREE” CONFERENCE

Thank you for volunteering to present at the conference and sharing your expertise with others. We would like to meet with all of the presenters Friday morning at 08:15 in the Sports Hall to go through the facilities, equipment and where to find it. The equipment will mainly be kept in a storage room in the Sports Hall and should be returned there directly after each presentation so they may be used for other sessions.

If you wish to give handouts to your participants please prepare them before hand. We will not make copies during the conference. Vierumaki has copying facilities but they will be at your own expense. Instead of, or in addition to making paper handouts for your Presentations, we would kindly ask you to bring them on a memory stick for Ms. Alison Quinn or send them via email to [email protected]. The idea is to place all of them on the Conference website so that people have easy access to them and also to save the environment.

11. FINNISH WEATHER & APPROPIATE CLOTHING

Please take into account that the weather conditions in Finland are unpredictable at this time of year. It can be -10C in the morning and +5C in the afternoon. There is still plenty of snow but it is melting slowly.

The majority of the presentations are scheduled indoors, but if weather permits a couple may be held outside. Please have indoor non-marking shoes, especially for the wooden floors.

Swim suits and flip-flops are recommended for the spa, sauna, swimming and polar dipping.
