Virtual Abstract Writing Workshop

Dates: February 9/March 9, 2022 |
Time: 10:00 AM Eastern/5:00 PM Eastern |
Location: Virtual-Zoom |
Fee: Complimentary |

Virtual Abstract Writing Workshop:

Event dates & times: 02/09/2022 at 10:00 am Eastern Time & 03/09/2022 at 5:00 pm Eastern Time |

Workshop Description: Scientific communication is an essential but often overlooked skill in higher educational institutions. To address this gap, ASC’22 DEI presents a Virtual Abstract Writing Workshop (VAWW) with the aim to help prepare participants, aimed particularly at students and young professionals, to write higher quality abstracts. Great abstracts should be able to capture the readers’ attention with as little words as possible while conveying an effective summary of their scientific processes and results. Given that the language standard for scientific communication is generally in the English language, persons whose first language is not English face additional challenges in the scientific writing process. This event will address this need by providing examples of good quality abstracts and explore the pitfalls of abstract writing and how to avoid them while providing a particular focus on abstract writing techniques for non-native English speakers. This virtual event will be held during the abstract submission window.

The event is open to all ASC 2022 participants. Registration is required. Please join the discussion!

Time: TBA |
Location: TBA |
Fee: N/A |

Ally/Intervention Methods Workshop:

Event date & time: 10/25/2022 12:15 – 2:15 pm |

Workshop Description: In past conference events we have noticed a significant interest from attendees on methods to be a good ally to those under-represented in STEM. Therefore, this year an interactive workshop will be held focusing on providing strategies and intervention methods for allyship in our community. The event will discuss intervention methods for addressing different situations including sexual harassment, racial, ethnic, and/or gender/GBTQ discrimination, and unconscious bias, among others. We feel it is relevant to include a discussion on the legal aspects of diversity, equity, and inclusion as it relates to intervention and allyship.

The event is open to all ASC 2022 participants. Registration is required. Please join the discussion!

Fee: N/A |

Virtual Manuscript Preparation Workshop:

Event date & time: 10/25/2022 12:15 – 2:15 pm |

Workshop Description: Despite being one of the most crucial steps in the scientific process, scientific writing is rarely taught in educational institutions. In this virtual manuscript preparation workshop we will go through some of the most common elements of style which can make scientific papers more impactful and easier to read. Our workshop will touch many areas: from basic scientific objectivity, to paragraph and manuscript structure, as well as storytelling and flow. We will show various examples of sentences, figures, tables, and paragraphs which can be transformed to create a clearer message—making the key take-aways stand out and, most importantly, be remembered by the readers.

The event is open to all ASC 2022 participants. Registration is required. Please join the discussion!

ELEVATE – DEI Panel Plenary Session

Date: TBA
Time:   TBA
Location:  TBA
Fee:  N/A

DEI Panel Session:

Event date & time: 10/25/2022 12:15 – 2:15 pm |

Session Description: The Applied Superconductivity Educational Foundation has made a commitment to the significance and importance of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion. This year we have a DEI event featuring a panel of speakers to address the relevant topics brought forward from the superconducting community during our last event. These include: Unconscious bias; building awareness; achieving purposeful integration of this awareness into your professional practice; Communication and conflict management; engagement of members of your organization. We feel it is especially relevant to include in our discussion the influence of health, well-being and geo-political environment on diversity and inclusion. A pre-recorded talk will be released prior to the event to stimulate discussion and attendees will be given the opportunity to ask questions and interact directly with the panel members.

Let’s gather and address underlying issues that may be limiting technical growth and affecting recruitment, mentorship, career transitions and other aspects that are deleterious to our focused scientific field.

ELEVATE

ELEVATE Mission Statement

Researchers within the field of Applied Superconductivity require a broad and diverse skill set, both technical and professional.  As the premier congregation of leaders and influencers within this field of study, the Applied Superconductivity Educational Foundation (ASEF) champions the continued growth of our community through our ELEVATE program.  Educational opportunities encompass best practices in technical research activities, as well as reviewing scientific abstracts, delivering good scientific presentations and wisely moderating conference sessions. ELEVATE also includes curated outreach activities to share the wonders of science with students of all ages during the technical conference and in the off season.  Also through the program we gain clarity through educating our membership on the continued importance of promoting Diversity, Equity and Inclusion within the scientific realm.  

Whether you are a student, industry partner or seasoned researcher, the program organizers strive ‘to elevate’ your conference experience and your connection to our community. All ELEVATE activities are designed to enrich the field of Applied Superconductivity and those who interact within it, not just our bi-annual conference, but everyday.

Laptop Giveaway! As part of the ELEVATE Program, we are excited to announce we will be giving away four brand-new Lenovo ThinkBook laptop at the ASC 2022 Conference! To qualify and be entered into the drawing, you must attend at least two ELEVATE sessions held over the lunch hours Monday – Thursday, and one must be the Wednesday Student Paper Competition session.  We encourage everyone to attend these sessions at ASC 2022 and hope you will be one of the lucky four who return with a new Lenovo laptop!

ASC thanks the IEEE Council on Superconductivity for their leadership sponsorship of the ELEVATE program at ASC 2022.

The Applied Superconductivity Conference is pleased to welcome the IEEE Council on Superconductivity (CSC) as a major sponsor of the ELEVATE program at ASC 2022. For many years, CSC has been a leader in supporting and advancing the superconductivity community around the globe, and their investment in the ELEVATE program will ensure that the community continues to have access to high-quality professional development, student, and DEI programming.

The Council is a natural partner for ASC because CSC, supported by its 11 Member Societies, has its own broad array of scientific, technical, and outreach efforts that play a foundational role in ensuring a vibrant and healthy future for superconductivity. CSC publishes the IEEE Transactions on Applied Superconductivity and the IEEE Transactions on Quantum Engineering, sponsors or supports a wide variety of conferences and workshops, and supports superconductivity-related summer schools worldwide. The Council was among the first in our field to recognize the importance of growing and diversifying the demographics of superconductivity researchers, engineers, and students, and to that end manages or supports its own robust set of Young Professional and student initiatives, Women in Engineering activities, and educational materials and videos.

More recently, the Council has supported the growth of the field of quantum computing through the aforementioned Transactions on Quantum Engineering, by supporting the IEEE Rebooking Computing initiative (with the IEEE Computer Society) and IEEE Quantum Week, and by supporting quantum-related technical presentations at conferences like ASC.
