AP Next Generation Committee
The iSchools Asia-Pacific Next Generation Committee was launched in 2022 by the Asia-Pacific regional iSchools in conjunction with the iSchools Board. The purpose of this AP-iSchools sub-organization is to maximize the visibility and communication among the next generation researchers, to enhance academic initiatives and mutual support, and to empower the AP library and information science community with vitality and to cultivate future leaders in the information field. The Committee will facilitate an international network for next generation researchers through various events and activities, including the AP-iConference, workshops, panels, international research projects and joint grant proposals.
The Committee is composed of next generation researchers in the field of information from Asia-Pacific (AP) iSchools members, the International Conference on Asia-Pacific Digital Libraries (ICADL) and the Asia-Pacific Library and Information Education and Practice Conference (A-LIEP) communities.
The Asia-Pacific iSchools Next Generation Committee now includes 32 members from 21 institutions, the ICADL, and the A-LIEP communities. Dr. Di Wang from Renmin University of China and Dr. Misita Anwar from Swinburne University are the current Chair and Chair-Elect.
