Despite the vacation period in January, the Interdisciplinary Student Meeting 2022 (ENESIN22) does not stop its activities and promotes the first assembly of the year on January 21st, at 13 pm, still in the virtual model, waiting for the resumption of in-person meetings after the beginning of the school year in March. The ENESIN22 organization is encouraging student participation in this phase through personal contacts, in the search for more active forms of dissemination for new enrollees to join.
“Each project will develop with its own dynamics, confirming our availability for advice. However, we must not forget that most of the projects have not even started yet and that the majority of their future authors have not yet become aware of the existence of ENESIN”, says professor José Mario Martinez, president of the Scientific and Cultural Council of the Institute of Advanced Studies ( IdEA), one of the bodies responsible for the organization, alongside Unicamp's Executive Secretariat for Communication (SEC).
With varied dynamics, monthly assemblies are usually important spaces for students to present their proposals, clarify doubts with the organization, contact interested new students and hear from experienced teachers and professionals about successful interdisciplinary, transdisciplinary or multidisciplinary initiatives.
The ENESIN organization intends to make the project better known starting this year with individual meetings with teaching units and academic centers, as well as disseminating the initiative among IdEA study groups and other programs at the Institute, such as the Resident Artist and the Resident Scientist. “In some cases, this knowledge already exists because it was induced by our own links to study groups, as is the case with CRIAB [Research and Action Group on Conflicts, Risks and Impacts Associated with Dams]. In other cases, mutual knowledge is still very incipient”, says Martinez, who is also professor emeritus at Unicamp and professor at the Institute of Mathematics, Statistics and Scientific Computing (IMECC).
As a complementary form of initial support for the groups, the ENESIN22 organization is disseminating to those registered some topics that may arouse the interest of students, from various interdisciplinary areas. This disclosure is being made in the virtual forum created on the ENESIN, opening space for comments and interactions between students and others interested in the project.
The proposal is that undergraduate, postgraduate and extension students at Unicamp, in partnership with students from other institutions, seek solutions to problems that plague society, whether at a local, national or global level, organized in groups of three to six members.
Registration for the first edition of ENESIN opened on September 15th, and among the themes already proposed, there are public governance projects, urban interventions, public health, assistance to the homeless population, basic sanitation, education, economy and minority empowerment. The teams will have until September 2022 to design, discuss and execute the projects. The work will end in an event with the presentation of posters, delivery of certificates and awards.
Next Friday's assembly is open to the entire community, internal and external to Unicamp, by registering on the Unicamp website. ENESIN22. More information about the 2022 Interdisciplinary Student Meeting can be found at event website.
