Университеты не озабочены тем, смогут ли представители поколения «миллениалов» достичь своих целей в будущем, а работодатели не стремятся поддерживать с ними контакты, способствующие их будущему трудоустройству. Поэтому преподаватели и работодатели, которые, в отличие от большинства, поддерживают тесные связи с поколением «миллениалов», выделяются на фоне остальных в погоне за молодыми и жизненно необходимыми компаниям квалифицированными специалистами.

The State of Student Startups - Rough Draft VenturesNatalie Bartlett
Entrepreneurship has always been celebrated in our culture - from early innovators such as Christopher Columbus to Thomas Edison, The Wright Brothers to Henry Ford. By the 20th century, accelerating technological innovation rooted within universities gave rise to a new culture, the hacker culture. This spawned a new type of entrepreneur embodied by role models such as Michael Dell, Steve Jobs and Larry Page. These founders set an example for what the university ecosystem can breed given the density of talent, diversity of opinions from academic leaders, greater willingness for students to take risks, and fewer preconceived notions from a role or company. Over the past 20 years, dozens of university-born founders have emerged, disrupting an incumbent industry, or creating a new one of their own. Thus a flourishing ecosystem was built to support a new generation of founders: the student founder.
The State of Student Startups shares our take on the major players that make this ecosystem what it is today - from professors to program managers, student leaders to service providers - and the factors that are that are fueling the next generation of founders.

Rough Draft Ventures is General Catalyst's student-focused program that backs founders at the university level. RDV is supporting and connecting the largest network of student entrepreneurs.

PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.
Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.

Editor's Notes
Complex social problems are affected by large and interdependent systems that no single project or organization could possibly solve. Rather this requires all actors that touch the problem to work in concert. Isolated Impact“Individual Approach”Select many partners that offer promising solutions to social problemsWork separately with each non-profit and compete to produce the greatest independent impactEvaluate in isolationDisconnect corporate or government sector effortsLimit reflection on successes and failuresCommon AgendaAll participants have a shared vision for change including a common understanding of the problem and a joint approach to solving it through agreed upon actions. Shared MeasurementCollecting data and measuring results consistently across all participants ensures efforts remain aligned and participants hold each other accountable.Mutually Reinforcing ActivitiesParticipant activities must be differentiated while still being coordinated through a mutually reinforcing plan of action.Continuous CommunicationConsistent and open communication is needed across the many players to build trust, assure mutual objectives, and create common motivationBackbone SupportCreating and managing collective impact requires a separate organization(s) with staff and a specific set of skills to serve as the backbone for the entire initiative and coordinate participating organizations and agencies.
