The European iSchools do not just aim at pushing the academic boundaries in information science but have a keen interest in knowledge transfer activities that demonstrate the impact that research and training within our iSchools have in practical industry use cases and society as a whole. Back to EU Region Industry Partnership The European iSchools do not just aim at pushing the academic boundaries in information science but have a keen interest in knowledge transfer activities that demonstrate the impact that research and training within our iSchools have in practical industry use cases and society as a whole. We have a long track record of successful collaboration with industry at individual iSchool level. We are now starting to join forces across institutions to strengthen this line of activity further. We would be delighted to hear from new industry partners. The collaboration can range from organised events such as industry days over student placements to joint research projects. Our biggest asset for such collaboration are our large cohorts of dedicated students at Bachelor, Master and PhD level who are keen to apply their expertise to practical applications. Feel free to contact us to discuss this further.

The iSchools represent an international organisation of over 120 universities on all inhabited continents. A common interest in all aspects of research and teaching about information unites them. Edit Navigation About Us Our Story Mission & Vision Our Goals Board of Directors Ambassadors Meet the Team Our Partners About Us The iSchools represent an international organisation of over 130 universities on all inhabited continents. A common interest in all aspects of research and teaching about information unites them. The scope is deliberately broad and methodologically agnostic, with a strong reliance on the social and behavioural sciences, as well as computing, and linguistics. iSchools topics include artificial intelligence, data science, human-computer interaction, information organisation and access, bibliometrics, and information integrity. Information scientists share a common perspective on the importance of how intelligent creatures and machines understand the universe. iSchools Bylaws Our Story A set of North American schools founded the organisation in 2005, and it incorporated as the “iSchools” in December 2014 and received 501(c)(3) non-profit status in 2016. North American institutions are no longer a majority of the iSchools, and the organisation’s administrative offices are currently in Berlin, Germany. Vision As a global organisation, the iSchools engage in recruiting new members from all universities world-wide that offer doctoral programs and active research programs on some aspect of information or Information Science. One goal is to provide programs through targeted projects and activities such as doctoral training/colloquia, joint research activities, and joint grant applications. The vision of the Organisation is to strengthen all aspects of research in information and information science for members across the globe. Mission One of the important characteristics of the iSchools is that all full members have doctoral programs, and recognize the importance of providing a high quality doctoral education as well as opportunities for graduates. Early career faculty are often nothing more than a doctoral student with a job, but without the support structure that they had when they were doing their dissertation/thesis research. In some schools there are enough early career faculty that they can support each other, but in information science that is more rare, and offering opportunities for early career faculty to work together and help each other could be a big advantage. Our Goals Major goals of the organisation are to support member universities in their research and teaching about all forms of information and its implications for our society. The iSchools organisation makes a particular effort to support doctoral students and early career researchers, as well as to facilitate international cooperation. Extensive reliance on videoconferencing makes discussions possible across geographic boundaries without requiring expensive and time consuming travel. Unlike many scholarly organisations that have a clear national base focus, the ischools are genuinely international. Conferences, business meetings, and other gatherings generally take place in multiple time zones and countries to eliminate the need for people to travel. The common language of the iSchools is English, but the staff makes every effort to accommodate other languages. Cross-country community building takes place in iSchools special interest groups such as the Women’s Coalition, Black Coalition, and a set of scholars dedicated to environmental concerns. These groups bring scholars and students together to discuss international and cross-cultural topics relevant to their lives and research. Increasing such opportunities for interaction and collaboration is a goal over the coming years. An equally important goal is to enable more intellectually productive ties within the community so that universities that want to expand their offerings can draw on others for help and advice. iSchools Leadership Ina Fourie iSchools Chair University of Pretoria South Africa Contact Slava Sterzer Executive Director iSchools Inc Germany Contact Dr. Kinshuk North America Regional Chair University of North Texas United States of America Contact Colin Rhinesmith Board of Directors Member University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign United States of America Contact Michelle Kazmer Board of Directors Member Florida State University United States of America Contact Javed Mostafa iSchools Chair-Elect University of Toronto Canada Contact Tina Du Treasurer Charles Sturt University Australia Contact Lihong Zhou Asia Pacific Regional Chair Wuhan University China Contact Diana Daly Board of Directors Member University of Arizona United States of America Contact Jun Deng Board of Directors Member Jilin University China Contact Gillian Oliver iSchools Past Chair Monash University Australia Contact Laura Sbaffi Europe / Africa Regional Chair University of Sheffield United Kingdom Contact Pengyi Zhang Board of Directors Member Peking University China Contact Koraljka Golub Board of Directors Member Linnaeus University Sweden Contact iSchools Ambassadors Atsuyuki Morishima Asia Pacific Region Tsukuba University Japan Contact Brasilina Passarelli Latin America Region University of São Paulo Brasil Contact Sam Oh Inaugural Ambassador Sungkyunkwan University South Korea Contact Meet the Team Slava Sterzer Executive Director Contact Ulrike Liebner Community Manager Contact Dr. Vera Hillebrand Business Manager Contact Shi Tang Community Manager Contact Past iSchools Leadership 2024-2025 2022-2023 2020-2021 2018-2020 2016-2018 2014-2016 2012-2014 2010-2012 2008-2010 2006-2008 2004-2006 2002-2004 Sanda Erdelez Chair iSchools Chair: Sanda Erdelez - Simmons University, United States of America iSchools Chair-Elect: Gillian Oliver - Monash University, Australia iSchools Past Chair: Gobinda Chowdhury - University of Strathclyde, Scotland Executive Director: Michael Seadle - Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, Germany Treasurer: Eric Meyer - University of Texas at Austin, United States of America North America Regional Chair: Keith Marzullo - University of Maryland, United States of America Asia Pacific Regional Chair: Atsuyuki Morishima - University of Tsukuba, Japan Europe / Africa Regional Chair: Koraljka Golub - Linnaeus University, Sweden Board of Directors Members: Anind K.
