In this way, thanks to the fact that Eco-bachelor students have no time anymore, we rediscovered the do it because in Exchange in Canada and I personally cannot be counted because I’m missing just one exam to the end of my studies. All other articles are external to this faculty. But this introduction was not aimed to criticize this new academic lead by Maximilian Unter den wenigen Artikeln, die aus wirtschaftlicher Hand stammen, muss natürlich auch noch die Tagebuchserie vom Pepe genannt werden, denn er ist endlich wieder zurück! Und nicht nur mit einem Tagebucheintrag, sondern gleich mit fünf davon! Aber über dessen Inhalte brauche ich Euch nicht zu belehren, da es nur eine Sache der Seiten ist, bis Ihr sie lesen werdet. In dieser Ausgabe haben wir zusätzlich Einträge aus dem Ausland, die zum einen aus Nordeuropa kommen und & Unternehmensführung berichten, zum anderen aus Nordamerika, Kanada um genauer zu sein, um einen Einblick in den dortigen Überlebenswortschatz zu bekommen. E per tornare al nostro Alto Adige, in seguito al Pro-Contra su Bolzano, non poteva certo mancare la versione italiana su Bressanone. La ancora percepita come nuova gestione dell’Unibar viene ripresa da Pepe, per poi focalizzarsi sotto la penna di Irene per quanto riguarda quel muto invito a “vestire” la mensola del bar. E come promesso, è tornato anche il FUB for dummies, in missione stavolta per illuminarci sul sistema dei ticket per i problemi tecnici. Insomma, vi aspetta Törggellen agli sgoccioli e i mercatini non ancora aperti. Immagino di non dovervi accedere a questo e ai vecchi numeri da sfogliare online. Quindi vi saluto e vi auguro una buona lettura. Yours faithfully, Daniel Colm -4- It’s all Sanchez’s fault! In the morning of the 4th of November a group of 40 students left from Bolzano at 6 am to join 24 other universities in Vallendar, close to Koblenz in Germany, for the annual WHU-Euromasters. Our university took part in competitions in volleyball, basketball, soccer female and male, and in this last category we won the second place. After a very tough semi-final, which lead to penalty shooting, the team from Bolzano played against the Zeppelin University (Germany) with the end result of 2-1 for the Germans. The cup will now be in the S.C.U.B. office for some weeks before being put together with all others gained in the previous years, in the kitchen in F6. A second important result has been reached in the bull-riding competition. Andrea Marcolla remained on the bull for one and a half minutes ,beating all other competitors. The students came back on Sunday the 7th at about lunchtime after having partied all night long to celebrate the great result. Daniel Colm -5- Future entrepreneurs on the road... Berlin, Bremen and Helsinki How everything started A couple of months ago, the student speakers were informed about the availability of financial resources to organise didactical travel for students. Mmh, didactical travels?! What does this actually mean? Well, it means that we can visit international institutions and new cities, in which most of us never been to underline the theoretical framework we learn about in Bolzano. A friend of mine knows a guy, who knows a guy who told him that the School of Economics and Management already organised such travels in the past. To be honest, I’ve also heard some stories about students going to Washington two years ago, and students that have been to Australia, even more years ago... But was it really possible?! During one of the meetings with Professor Narduzzo, the director of the Master’s of Science in Entrepreneurship and Innovation and the Master’s of Science in Global Markets & Management – curricula Entrepreneurship, the possibility of financing a similar study trip, or didactical travel, was confirmed. So we started discussing how we could combine his lectures with an institutional visit. The Head of Administration of the School of Economics and Management, Dr. Markus Miorandi, illustrated to us the possibilities of financing the study trip and the obligations that have to be fulfilled in order to organise and participate in such a trip. It wasn’t as easy as it sounds... bureaucratically, it was a very demanding task. We needed a Professor nd his course and an idea and some student volunteers to organise it.... -6- Where to go?! After some discussions, we convinced Professor Narduzzo to come with us. So we had a Professor, but the linkage between lectures and the study trip still needed clarification! In one of his lectures we talked about “knowledge transfer” and therefore we decided to visit different Technology and Science Parks in order apply our theoretical knowledge practically. However, it still wasn’t clear where to go and what to see. But, since we also have a Science Park “in house” we decided to ask TIS Innovation Park South Tyrol for some inputs, after all who could help us if not them? Collaboration with TIS One hot summer day, we met with the Director of TIS, Dr. Hubert Hofer, who provided us with important contacts all over Europe, names and email addresses of managers who work for the Techonology and Science parks in different European countries. We chose Germany and Finland, precisely Adlershof Berlin, Bremen Innovation and Technology Center and Otaniemi Technology Hub in Helsinki. Organisational problems Once we received the confirmation of meetings from the Technology and Science Parks, we still had to receive the financial approval of the Faculty Council of the School of Economics and Management. As we expected, the approval arrived and the Administration of the School of Economics and Management took care of the whole organisational part of the study trip (primarily flights & accommodation). But the School of Economics and Management has to respect a lot of bureaucratic obligations, therefore it seemed impossible for them to book the flights and accommodation. Therefore there was just one option left for the students who wanted to participate in the study trip: to cover all costs for the study trip in advance by themselves and to be fully reimbursed by the School of Economics and Management after the study trip. Unfortunately, the costs were very high for the normal student’s budget and this fact disadvantaged some students as they could not participate in the study trip. On the road!! Finally, a small group of five students and Prof. Narduzzo started the European adventure of visiting the Technology and Science Parks from 11th till 15th October 2010. In the following paragraphs we would like to share with you the most important discoveries of our visits! -7- Wista Management GmbH The first stop of our study trip was in Berlin, Germany, at the City of Science, Business and Media (Stadt für Wissenschaft, Wirtschaft und Medien, better known as Wista Management GmbH, the company which is working on the urban development of the Adlershof area). In the morning we met the director for Marketing and Sales at Adlershof Berlin, Dr. Ute Hübener and in the afternoon Dr. Gerhard Raetz, director for the managing company of innovation and business incubation centres in Berlin Adlershof (Innovations-Zentrum Berlin Management, better known as IZBM) and Dr. András Gosztonyi, the chief financial officer of Heliocentris, one of the most famous start-ups from IZBM. First Dr. Hübener explained the long history of the area Adlershof, which is fundamental in order to understand the importance of this area for the city and future development of Berlin. The first historical roots of the Adlershof’s area go back to 1909, when the first motorised aircraft took off from the fields of Adlershof. In fact, until the end of the WWII, this area was the Headquarter of the German aviation (Deutsche Versuchsanstalt für Luftfahrt – DVL) who used the Headquarter for research and experimental purposes. After the WWII this area was assigned to Soviet Union and became a part of the East Germany. However, the purpose of the territory remained the same since the area was used for research purposes and innovation. Two years after the fall of the Berlin’s wall and German reunification in 1989, the Federal Republic of Germany decided to establish an integrated scientific and business landscape on the site of Adlershof by creating the city of science, business and media (managed by the Wista Management GmbH). The main purpose of Wista Management GmbH is to create an area which promotes innovation, settlement and incubation of new enterprises and research. The area of 4,2 km2 of land is occupied by total of 819 companies, in which 14.000 employees work on a daily basis. Our main interest was in the City of Science, Business and Media the Science and Technology Park. The Science and Technology Park contains 399 companies and 11 scientific non-university establishments. In order to attract and encourage innovative business to settle in the area of Adlershof, also modern specialised centres were established in the area, such as the Innovation and Business Incubation Centre (IZBM), which we visited, the Centre for Photonics and Optical Technology, the Centre for Environmental, Bio and Energy Technology, the Centre for Information and Media Technology, the Centre for Material and Microsystems Technology, Service-Centre and International Business Incubator for Middle and Eastern European entrepreneurs. Innovation and Business Incubation Cen tre - IZBM In the afternoon we met with the director of IZBM, Gerhard Raetz, who had presented to us the main operational aspects of an Incubator Centre. IZBM has 18.500 m2 at disposal which is primarily used as rental offices spaces for the new companies. The number of companies that were present at IZBM at the time of our visit was equal to 78 companies, with currently 663 employees. The incubation process implemented by IZBM can be divided in four steps: collection of ideas, establishment of the company, growth and expansion. -8- The activity of IZBM is mainly focused on assistance, consultancy and support (financing support, such as renting of offices at affordable prices as well as infrastructural support). On average the start-up companies benefit from the IZBM support and network for 4,9 years after which they usually settle in the area of Adlershof in order to take advantage of the knowledge exchange and different centres at disposal. After the meeting with Mr. Raetz we had the pleasure to meet Dr. András Gosztonyi, chief executive officer of Heliocentris, a company specialised in energy storage solutions. Heliocentris, also located in Adlershof, is a specialist in hybrid energy storage solutions consisting of flue cells, batteries and energy management. The company was founded in 1995 and was the first company focusing on the markets of fuel cells with training products. Bremen Innovation and Technology Centre - BITZ The second stop of our study trip was the Innovation and Technology Centre (Bremer Innovations- und Technologiezentrum or BITZ) where Alexander Knaust prepared a very diverse schedule for us, including a presentation of BITZ, patent rights, knowledge transfer, Kopfmaschine (one of the most promising start-up companies at BITZ), service venture presentation of Prof. Dr. Jörg Freiling (an ex-Unibz Professor – sometimes the world iseems really small!! ) and finally the presentation of the OHB Systems Company. BITZ was founded in 1986 due to the collaboration of different regional institutions. Nowadays, in the area of 170 hectares there are more than 400 companies which operate in different industries. The University of Bremen, one of the most famous research universities in -9- Germany, is situated in the centre of the area with more than 20.000 students. The main goal of BITZ is to create a network for innovative projects and to bring researchers and companies together. Historically, one of the most important companies that joined the technology park is the spacecraft company OHB Systems, a company specialised in low-orbit and geostationary small satellites for scientific research. The main tasks of BITZ offered to the start-ups and established companies are support, lobbying, network, cooperation, renting of offices and organising of different events which can help employees of different organisation to come together and exchange their knowledge. UniTransfer The major goal of our study trip was to discover how the technology park implements the knowledge transfer. On this purpose, we met Madame Dr. Susanne Fleischmann who explained to us how knowledge transfer (at BITZ so called UniTransfer) works and what the possibilities are for students to create their own company at the Campus of University of Bremen, of course with collaboration of the BITZ. The main purpose of BITZ and University of Bremen is to connect the economics and science by building a win-win situation for all. UniTransfer takes advantage of the geographical closeness and offers a vast portfolio of services for the start-ups, beginning from the spin-offs, business plan support, investments network, special financing forms for start-ups and others. Helsinki, we are coming!! After a very long flight we were finally approaching our third and last destination for this study trip, Helsinki. At the Aalto University in Helsinki, Finland, Madame Melissa Arni-Harden was responsible for our visit and she prepared a very interesting program for us: the Otaniemi Technology Hub, Product Development Project Course and Aalto Entrepreneurship Society. The Aalto University was established in 2010 as a new university with centuries of experience, since it is created from the merger of three Finnish universities: The Helsinki School of Economics, Helsinki University of Technology and the University of Art and Design Helsinki. Otaniemi Technology Hub, founded is the late 1980s, is an organisation which main role consists in encouraging the network creation, community builder, innovation (especially in Nano, Mobile, Microelectronics and Microsystems industries), creation of positive spin-offs, provision of services to the companies (support, consultancy, network) and encouraging of knowledge transfer. Today, in Otaniemi Technology Hub there are more than 800 companies; some of them are already established and multinational companies, such as Nokia, Kone, Fortum and others and some are fresh start-up companies. Aalto Entrepreneurship Society- Aaltoes Aalto Entrepreneurship Society is a student-run organisation founded in spring 2009. The main purpose of this society is to promote entrepreneurship, enabling students and researchers to create worldchanging businesses from Aalto University. AaltoES organises events by inspiring speakers and entrepreneurial people, which have the main purpose of bringing together students which have innovative ideas and venture capitalists, meaning persons who are able to finance the entrepreneurial ideas of students. These meetings are also called “boot camps” and are practically two week programs in which the selected teams work closely together on their projects with the most famous entrepreneurs from the Scandinavian and Baltic Area. AaltoES is situated closely to Aalto Design Factory, in the so-called “Aalto Venture Garage”, which has 700m2 at disposal and around 40 start up companies. The selected start-up companies have a seed funding of €5,000, a trip to Silicon Valley and Israel where they can visit the respective technology parks and six months of free rent. After six months the start-ups have to move out. The whole project is financed by the Aalto University, since the students are the main users. - 10 - Home sweet home After we had spent one week discovering different methods of knowledge transfer, and of course three beautiful cities, we were very, well let me say extremely, happy to come back home. It was a very nice experience, especially in Helsinki, because we had been given the possibility to observe how the knowledge transfer occurs in practice. Future plans... In the following semester, probably in January 2011, we will organise an event during which you can find out more about our study trip and of course about our next projects,. The idea is to involve all Master students, allowing them to get closer to scientific organisations and build a network of international contacts (you never know, perhaps one day they can be useful). Special thanks Last, but not least, special thanks goes to all students who have contributed to the organisation of the study trip (Alex, Antonio, Fabian, Lukas, Thomas); to Prof. Narduzzo who was trying to find any possible (and valid!) alternative in order to allow more students to participate to this study trip, who helped us in the organisation and shared with us in this unforgettable experience; to the School of Economics and Management who financed our didactical travel entirely; to all collaborators of the Administration of School of Economics and Management; and finally a particular special thanks goes to the Director of TIS Innovation Park South Tyrol, Dr. Hubert Hofer, who found time for us and gave us important contacts which helped us to visit the Technology and Science parks around Europe. Gordana Stevancevic - 11 - LIEBES TAGEBUCH crisi totale. Sollte man eigentlich nicht glauben, denn endlich näher ich mich dem großartigsten Moment des Studiums. Ich werd anfangen, die Tesi zu schreiben. Das Problem ist, liebes Tagebuch, für so ne Tesi brauch man ein Thema. Mamma mia, das ist fei gar nich so leicht so was zu finden. Überhaupt gar nicht. Obwohl ich sogar den Ratgeber durchgeblättert hab, den der Papa mir unter den Weihnachtsbaum gelegt hat. Er hat natürlich ganz genau geschaut, ob ich den auch einpacke. Gut ok, es waren jetzt nicht viele Bilder drin, aber geblättert hab ich drin. Bloß geholfen hat es nix. Die anderen sprechen schon immer von ihrer Recherche und was sie alles tun. Aber dann, liebes Tagebuch, da hatte ich plötzlich einen Gedankenblitz. Denn schon völlig verzweifelt wegen der Suche nach dem richtigen Thema, bin ich mal in die Unibar gegangen. Also der Enzo, der war ja manchmal schon etwas komisch, aber ok, er hat dann immerhin doch Deutschlands seriöseste Tageszeitung abonniert. Wie es sich für eine Unibar gehört. Da schau ich natürlich nie rein, Du kennst mich doch. Aber wenn sie dann so zufällig auf dem Tisch liegt, also dann… . Ja ok, da hab ich mal nen Blick riskiert. So beim zweiten Hugo. Das trinkt man nämlich jetzt statt Veneziano. Da fielen meine Augen auf eine, nein, nicht das was Du denkst, liebes Tagebuch, auf eine interessante Nachricht. Stell Dir mal vor: Immer wenn Krise ist, werden die Röcke wieder kürzer. Und das hat dann Einfluss auf die Börse. Na wenigsten ist sie, also jetzt die Krise, zu irgendwas gut wollt ich mir grad denken, so für mich, aber dann. In dem Moment ist es mir wie Schuppen von den Augen gefallen. Ich, der Pepe, ich entwickle einen Indikator. Des wird ja noch zu schaffen sein. Aber welchen? Und vor allem liebes Tagebuch, zu welchem Professor geh ich denn mit einer solchen Idee. Das ist nämlich gleich ein noch viel größeres Problem, als das Thema zu finden. Denn das mit den Professoren und der Betreuung bei uns ist gar nicht so leicht, trotz dem Verhältnis 1:6, ich sags Dir. Denn irgendwie haben die eigentlich schon genug damit zu tun, sich selbst - 12 - zu betreuen. Ganz viel. So viel, dass ich den Studenten von neulich bei der Laurea, den Schummler, fast schon verstehe. Aber nur fast, liebes Tagebuch, denn als Akademiker, ne, da schummelt man nicht, auch nicht als Wirtschaftler. Also vielleicht später Mal, dann im Job. Aber nicht jetzt, nein. Wobei verstehen kann ichs schon bei all der Forschung, die die machen sollen, unsere Profs. Und bei all dem Verwaltungskram. Also manchmal liebes Tagebuch, wenn es mir beim Heer in der Vorlesung mal wieder so richtig langweilig ist und ich ans Schiffe versenken früher in der Schule denk, da kommts mir so vor, als würden viele Büros hier nix anderes tun. Also nicht sich in Vorlesungen langweilen, sondern aus Spaß eine Art Schiffe versenken spielen. Miorandi ist der Kapitän und wer am meisten Vorschläge erfolgreich versenkt, hat gewonnen. Je größer der Vorschlag desto mehr Punkte. Und je früher, desto besser, weil weniger Arbeit, gibt noch mehr Punkte! Ich hab ja mal gerüchteweise gehört, von der studentischen Opposition, dass es sogar Turniere zwischen den Fakultäten geben soll. Gewonnen hat die Juristische bis jetzt, denn die wurde gleich nie gegründet. Aber das halte ich mal für ne volle falsche Information. Also das können die mir wirklich nicht erzählen. Schon komisch, liebes Tagebuch, aber manche Dinge bleiben immer gleich. Denn am Ende, verbünden sie sich trotzdem immer gegen die armen Studenten. Und dass kenn ich von meinen großen Schwestern. Ständig mit den Eltern streiten, aber am Schluss immer gegen mich. Da saß ich nun mit all den Problemen, der Themenfrage. Inzwischen mit nem neuen Hugo. Und hab dumm aus der Wäsche geschaut, als mir der Satz von der Designerin wieder eingefallen ist. Der Schwarzhaarigen, Schönen, Du weißt schon. Man muss manchmal der Kreativität freien Lauf lassen und den ersten Gedanken nehmen. Bloß vom Prey darf man sich dabei nicht erwischen lassen, hat sie noch gemeint, sonst ist der Lauf ganz schnell vorbei, aber den hab ich in der Bar eh nicht gesehen. Also: Gedacht gemacht. Gelernt ist schließlich gelernt. Um also das Betreuerproblem zu lösen, dachte ich mir, mach ich mal eine Bewertung, ganz objektiv mit Matrix und so und wähl dann optimiert aus. Bloß wie? Keine Rückschläge mehr. Neuen Hugo bestellt und weiter überlegt und dabei, also dabei liebes Tagebuch, da ist mir was klar geworden. Wusstest Du, dass die Körpergröße eines der wichtigsten Kriterien ist? Nein, nein, nicht über mich lachen. Je kleiner die Person, desto größer die notwendige Leistung für den Geltungsdrang, folglich viel zu tun, folglich wenig Betreuung für mich. Also wenn ich mir da mal die Profs so vorstelle, da könnt ich doch Recht haben, liebes Tagebuch, oder? Denk doch nur mal an …. Ich war schon total glücklich. Endlich etwas gefunden!!! Täräää! Aber dann, ja dann hab ich festgestellt, mein Datensatz hat lauter Lücken. Den Maurer zum Beispiel, weil der musste ja auch immer für die Fakultät arbeiten, so richtig viel. Oder ich hab was anderes übersehen. Du siehst liebes Tagebuch, wie schnell Du da als Student ein Fehler machen kannst. Vielleicht sollt ich doch mal morgen einen Prof um Rat fragen. Aber erst morgen, denn so schnell geb ich nicht auf und vielleicht hilft noch ein Hugo bei der Kreativität. Ich schreibs Dir dann liebes Tagebuch, Dein Pepe - 13 - LET'S BURN,BEIBI! Premetto che il titlo non c'entra niente con quello che seguirà. Avete mai fatto caso a come le persone che frequentano l’università non facciano attività fisica, all’interno dell’università? Quello che intendo dire è che ci sono corridoi talmente lunghi che si potrebbero indire gare e manifestazioni plurime di prestanza e forza fisica tra le persone che frequentano abitualmente questo edificio composto di corridoi enormi. Ad esempio, nel dopo pranzo di qualche settimana fa è capitato che io, ed alcune amiche, provassimo la classica gara in velocità nel corridoio dell’edificio c al primo piano. Ovviamente ho vinto io. Ed è stato bellissimo. Tutto ciò mi ha illuminata. Lo sport è con tutti noi, dentro di noi. - 14 - Si, so che esiste lo s.c.u.b. , ma io non parlo di quello sport organizzato, ma dello sport casuale. Lo sport che nasce dalla voglia di sgranchirsi le gambe in momenti inopportuni, far respirare la mente quando è appesantita da pensieri gonfi, far pompare il sangue e ridere tantissimo, per il solo gusto di farlo!Io sono una grande sostenitrice del “ muoviamoci a casaccio” così, tanto per farci riprendere confidenza con lo spazio fisico al di fuori di noi e per rilassarci un pò! Le gare che potrebbero essere organizzate nei vari corridoi, decise dal fior fiore di una giuria qualificata composta da me, per ora, sono queste: Velocità (ovviamente); Scivolate (come non sfruttare quei chilome tri di pavimento lucido e liscio che alle elementari tutti noi abbiamo sognato!?); Movenze ed espressioni strane ripetute per tutta la durata del corridoio ( ognuno deve trovare il suo personale modo di esprimersi, questo è un enorme esercizio interiore che porta alla liberazione del nostro essere); Corridoio cantanto (mentre si percorre il corridoio si cantano canzoni che abbiano obbligatoriamente almeno una di queste caratteristiche: in rima, paesane, sconce, dell’oratorio (a volte coincidono), non più recenti del 1974, e o inglesi, quelle di cui non si conosce il testo. Il tutto deve essere compiuto, trotterellando). Salto in lungo. (Solo per chi è dotato di culo morbido. Non ci sono materassini. Ho controllato personalmente. C’è solo un finto prato in vera plastica. Ogni tanto esce dal magazzino a prendere un pò d’aria ma mi ha confidato che non esce di certo per far si che persone gli si fiondino addosso. Per questo motivo, nessuno si prende nessuna responsabilità per nessun altro. Vi verrà fatto firmare un documento prima di partecipare alla gara, in cui dichiarate che avete il culo morbido.) Stile rana, in aria. Un due tre stella. (Insisto perché è un bel gioco.) Corridoio cantanto (mentre si percorre il corridoio si cantano canzoni che abbiano obbligatoriamente almeno una di queste caratteristiche: in rima, paesane, sconce, dell’oratorio (a volte coincidono), non più recenti del 1974, e o inglesi, quelle di cui non si conosce il testo.

Per questo motivo, nessuno si prende nessuna responsabilità per nessun altro. Vi verrà fatto firmare un documento prima di partecipare alla gara, in cui dichiarate che avete il culo morbido.) Stile rana, in aria. Un due tre stella. (Insisto perché è un bel gioco.) - 15 - Se vi piace l'idea e avete qualche altra proposta per questo tipo di gare, allora comunicatevelo, inventatelo, fatelo, combinate qualcosa! Coinvolgete i vostri compagni di corso, se sentite che questa è la vostra vera vocazione! Non reprimete ciò che siete veramente! E dite: "Ehi, facciamo sport a casaccio!" Per quanto riguarda i premi e le vincite, bè, sfottere il perdente fino alla gara successiva per la rivincita, per quanto mi riguarda, è il più bel premio si possa ricevere! Sono convinta che, con un pò di allenamento fisico e mentale e un pò di pazienza, tra qualche mesetto, saremmo tutti più sciolti, più rilassati, più, come dire inseriti, a nostro agio e sicuri di noi stessi, nel contesto università. Si perché, se devo essere sincera, non vedo molte persone sciolte e comode quando camminano per l'università. Certo, è spersonalizzante questo enorme spazio fisico, fuori portata essere umano. Infatti perdiamo il senso di noi stessi e quando camminiamo, siamo imbarazzati. Soprattutto quando incrociamo qualcun altro. (Sto parlando in prima persona plurale o quarta persona generale, ma io mi tengo fuori da questa brutta storia). Ho visto scene memorabili. Colli inesistenti, spalle fuori bolla, sorrisi trapezoidali, capelli che tentano il suicidio lanciandosi dalla testa direzione suolo, sederi stretti, passi incerti schivanti pozze d'acqua immaginarie, freddo nelle vene, voci grottesche, fusioni delle arcate dentali in un unica parete di denti con successiva impossibilità di esprimere saluti comprensibili all'orecchio umano. Inoltre, sempre causa lunghezza interminabile corridoi, anche se parti con l'intenzione di fare un bel sorriso e un caloroso saluto, da quando lo prepari al momento in cui effettivamente incroci la persona, possono passare minuti interi, quindi ciò che materialmente ripropone la tua faccia è una composizione geometricamente casuale di espressioni fuori luogo. Io dico basta! Stop a tutto questo formalismo! Scioglietevi! Cantate! Correte per i corridoi e soprattutto, riscaldatevi il cuore e il corpo, lasciando le sedie, con la vostra impronta coccigea, a riposarsi dal peso sostenuto tutto il giorno, per via del troppo studio! - 16 - Prendete confidenza corporea con i corridoi dell'università! Lasciate messaggi, salutiamoci tutti e gareggiamo! Facciamo nascere quella sana competizione da bar che è dentro tutti noi e che io sostengo fermamente sia terapeutica. Non lasciamo che i corridoi ci dicano come dobbiamo essere, conquistiamoli! Essere liberi, è bello! Solo per qualche minuto, poi si torna tutti alle vostre vite banali! Dobbiamo però organizzarci in qualche modo, o per lo meno darci un segno distintivo per capire quando inizia una gara e dove. Allora, il segnale sarà... un bell’urlo della parola “GARA!“ (eh, scusate, non mi è venuto niente di particolarmente alternativo... non so, “MELONE“ è meglio?) Comunque, urlate in cosa si gareggia e dove, e lasciate qualche secondo per capire se qualcun altro vuole partecipare e poi, ragazzi, accendete la miccia! BUM! Se tutto questo non fosse possibile, del resto, siamo sempre in un università, siamo seri! Proporrei di mia spontaneissima libera inventiva, l’impiego di una stanza a caso vuota o anche piena, a palestra! (Perché no? Una lezione in una stanza-palestra, è talmente decontestuale che è quasi rilassante e lontanamente somigliante a una lezione che potrebbe risultare piacevole all’udito!) Via quindi alle ciclette, tapis rulant, qualche pesetto, l’immancabile specchio per vedere quanto stiate diventando fichi e grossi e i rispettivi spogliatoi divisi per generi, fantasie e perversioni varie. Si lo so, è una bella idea! È molto evidente che, per questo numero del flyer, non avevo un argomento interessante su cui scrivere il mio articolo? Vi voglio bene! Silvia Neretti VESTIAMO LA MENSOLA! Il bianco, il longitudinale immenso vuoto bianco di una mensola che sembra non finire più. Su di essa, ormai da un po’ di mesi, campeggia una scritta che invita la gentile popolazione universitaria a fornire qualsiasi genere di materiale appendibile per decorare allegramente quell’importante lato del nostro UniBar. Certo, so che la nostra attenzione andrà senza dubbio molto più volentieri alla cospicua quantità di bottiglie che stanno sopra la mensola piuttosto che alle parole scritte sotto… ma è pur sempre un annuncio! E come tale dovrebbe essere còlto. Invece ora, visto che nessuno ci dà molto peso, rischia di diventare un epitaffio: “Qui giace l’antico spazio creatività del bar, sempre nella nostra memoria”. Un tantino grottesco? Probabile, ma è proprio così. Non si pretendono quadri di Van Gogh e Monet (ovviamente se li avete e non sapete che farne ben vengano!), oli su tela o acquerelli pregiati, basterebbe anche un disegnino a mano libera stile scuola materna prodotto dall’ispirazione durante una lezione noiosa… perciò non ci sono scusanti! La creatività non ce l’hanno mica solo i designer. Eppure non è questo il punto, la realtà è che ci nascondiamo dietro alla maschera del “non sono creativo” quando il vero motivo è che ci manca la voglia di iniziativa. Questa non è una questione vitale è chiaro, ma poi il nostro comportamento nelle piccole cose come queste si riflette anche in quelle più importanti; tendiamo ad assumere uno stato di quiete nel nostro moto rettilineo uniforme (tanto per metterci un po’ di interdisciplinarietà), e raramente vogliamo esserne scomodati. - 17 - Nella fisica è così, ci vuole assolutamente una forza per smuovere il corpo da questo stato, e nella maggior parte dei casi è così anche con noi. L’invito alla partecipazione ormai ha poca efficacia se è solo un invito! Deve quasi sempre essere accompagnato da un “agente spinta” come nella fisica, che può consistere ad esempio in una super campagna pubblicitaria o un concorso a premi. Allora si che funziona l’invito! È vero, sarà pure un principio di fisica, ma noi siamo qualcosa di più di una banale forza peso no? Quindi suvvia, possiamo smuoverci anche da soli . A questo punto spero di aver smosso un po’ gli animi e risvegliato il desiderio di partecipazione che è in noi. Tutto ciò per rilanciare l’appello: non lasciamo triste e vuoto quello spazio! Proponiamo qualsiasi cosa si possa appendere per vivacizzare quella striscia di UniBar! Poi sarà lo staff a dare il giudizio finale. Ovviamente nei limiti della decenza, quindi evitiamo calendari troppo spinti, trofei di caccia, piante rampicanti e affini. Vestiamo quella povera mensola! Così bere il caffè al banco sarà più piacevole. Irene Castellan Living diversity. Everyday. - 18 - 13 different nationalities, 13 (mainly first year's) students actively sharing their traditions and habits with the FUB community. The Spanish delegation starting cheering louder than ever when a video of the world championships was played, a Vietnamese student arriving unannounced with a rich plate of food he prepared for all and a multicultural crowd dancing together Disco Pogo (the official party song of Bozen-Bolzano). All this happened on the 7th October at the “International Evening” organized by AIESEC. events” of any kind: country presentation, arts/music exhibitions, quizzes or just food tasting.Surely I would like to encourage all of you to attend multicultural events, but start living diversity in your everyday life. Tomorrow in the classroom, go and sit next to somebody you don't know. In the next group work, pick a team-mate from a different country than yours or just initiate a conversation in the mensa with somebody coming from another continent asking how life looks like there. A big thanks goes to all the students who prepared tasty food, decorated the F6 as a global fair and presented information and curiosities about their countries to all 80 guests of the event.It's really rewarding seeing such an active participation, especially from the new students. This is giving us the right motivation to plan and organise new activities for the current academic year and put into action fresh ideas from our new members. I can tell from my personal experience that working in multicultural environment has enriched my background, my understanding of other cultures and my capability to actively listen to and understand other people. This event was a small step to encourage the sharing of cultural diversity which is a longterm ambition. Living diversity is one of the core values of AIESEC (besides enabling people to travel all around the world) as well as to encourage students to start getting to know different cultures here at our university. Everyday we meet in the corridors and in the classrooms, so let's just stop for a moment and tell each other something about where we come from. Recently a survey was carried out by AIESEC in front of the mensa. The questions was: “What kind of activities you would like to see in the university?” Each student could give two preferences from the list proposed. The majority of students chose “multicultural As a computer science student, I had the opportunity to work on several IT projects with colleagues from Spain, United States, Germany, Brazil, Bangladesh and Palestine. Each of them had very different working styles. The long and sometimes boring project meetings always ended with a cup of tea or an ice-cream when the weather allowed it. We have been engaged in endless talks about our habits which lead initially to huge misunderstandings because sometimes we could not really understand how a person could think so differently. But then looking at the common points we could agree that we were not so different at all. Did you choose this university for internationality? Then don't miss the incredible opportunity to feel like travelling around the world within your own university and, of course, to prepare yourself for the real challenging adventures your life has to offer. Francesca Guzzi - 19 - LIEBES TAGEBUCH ungeheuerlich! Uglaublich! Also fast schon eine Revolution. Für Südtirol geradezu. Nein, nicht was Du jetzt denkst. Ok, der komplette Austausch den Universitätsrat ist zwar auch ein heißer Kandidat für revolutionäre Umbrüche. Wobei, ich hätt ja die Dings, also die, ja die vom Bauernbund, die Möchtegernmanagerin, die hätt ich ja als Durni LH gleich mal mit ausgetauscht. Weil, also liebes Tagebuch, was die da vorher gemacht hat, beim Bauernbund, das möchte ich ja mal wissen. Gelernt hats da jedenfalls nix, wenn Du mich fragst. Also für die Uni. Denn selbst der sozial benachteiligste Bauer weiß, dass man sähen muss, bevor man erntet, so in die Köpfe und nicht in die Verwaltungsvorschriften. Nicht nur immer sparen, sparen, sparen Zuschüsse und Reisen streichen. Dann erntet selbst die Akademia in Südtirol die dicksten Kartoffeln. Aber vielleicht wollten sie den Lorenzrektor nicht so ganz alleine lassen, wegen den Kompetenzen und so. Also der hat ja kommuniziert im letzten Jahr, so was von kommuniziert, da ist der ja ganz strahlend geworden vor Gerechtigkeit, Politikgestaltung und Diskussion. Bloß, liebes Tagebuch, geglänzt hat er dabei nicht. Aber jetzt hab ich mich schon wieder von ganz Unwichtigem ablenken lassen. Ich muss das endlich lernen, mit dem Konzentrieren und so. Hat die Mama auch schon gesagt. Die denkt schon fast ich hab ADS. Also, liebes Tagebuch, zu den großen Zeichen der Umbrüche. Zur Revolution: Stell Dir vor der Enzo wurde ausgetauscht. Ja der Unibarenzo. Einfach weg. Wer schnauzt mich denn jetzt beim Bestellen noch so nett an und lässt anschreiben? Aber, liebes Tagebuch, jetzt kommts. Die Landesregierung hatte endlich ein Einsehen und hat den Stompino als Wirt eingesetzt. Den Stompi, Sompinerle, halt den Cheffe von der Bar Haidi. Du weißt schon liebes Tagebuch. Die unendlich integrative Kneipe, wo die Verbindungsbrüder, Südtiroler und leider auch ich öfter mal versumpfen. Doch dieser strategische Meisterschachzug der Landesregierung bringt selbst mich aus dem Takt, liebes Tagebuch. Nein, nicht wegen dem Alkohol, mit dem kann ich ganz gut umgehen, nach all dem Studium hier. Nein, nach dem höheren Sinn. Welche Strategie wird da verfolgt? Die Studenten mehr feiern zu lassen? Die Uni als Deckmantel, um das Bozner Nachtleben endlich attraktiver zu gestalten? Die Verkehrssicherheit durch mehr Barnähe an der Uni zu erhöhen? Das ist echt eine harte Nuss zu knacken. Du siehst liebes Tagebuch, mit was ich mich so alles beschäftigen muss, neben dem Studium. Ich weiß vor lauter Aufgaben, Courseworks und Assignments und Bar Haidi gar nicht mehr wo oben ist. Doch jetzt muss ich weg, in die Unibar, Leute treffen. Denn so viel Zeit muss sein liebes Tagebuch, Dein Pepe - 20 - KIKERO! As every year in November, on Monday 15th the elections for the new Kikero Executive have taken place. This year it is our turn to lead the association, so let us introduce ourselves. We are a team comprised of students from three different faculties, four different countries and equipped with many new ideas. First of all: What is Kikero? Founded in 2000, Kikero is the FUB’s first student association with the aim of offering social and cultural activities to the student body. Over the years, the list of the regular events offered by Kikero to the student has grown steadily. Along with periodic activities such as the Flyer, the Movie Night, the Debating Club, the Aperitivo Lungo and the Unichoir, yearly events such as the Moonlight Sledging and the Glühweinstand have become a fixed part of the extracurricular life of the university. With our current team, which has grown to 7 members in the executive (five in Bolzano and two in Bressanone) and some motivated helpers, it will be possible to offer a wider range of activities. We would like to organize various events including theatre, cooking and juggling workshops - offered by both professionals and students – photography and writing contests. We also aim to revive some projects that were abandoned in the past years like the Yearbook and the UniBall. Another important point of our program is the cooperation with other student associations since this could enrich the university life as a whole.The contact with the student body is the basis to achieve and to make our projects real. Therefore we intend to create a website and a more efficient Facebook page so that everyone can easily get in touch with us to suggest ideas and give us feedback. We are highly motivated to make our numerous projects happen – but we need your support! If you are curious about how things are done and are willing to give us a hand in organizing, you are very welcome to become a helper. Regardless of whether you contribute as a helper or just attend our events, a membership will benefit you in many different ways, through reduced prices and so on. We always welcome students willing to contribute with their creativity and fresh ideas and are looking forward to an exciting and productive new kikero year!

I think that, being this my third year, my time to get involved in this activity has come. Furthermore, I believe that working in an association together with other six different persons can teach me skills that cannot be achieved through lectures or books. 4| I became a Kikero member in order to bring Kikero also in Bressanone/Brixen and help making the students’ lives here more fun. I believe that there is much more than study, lectures and exams to an university; this is the reason why I chose to get involved in a team that lets students participate in activities that are complementary to their study careers. 4| I decided to take part in Kikero in April 2009 when I found out that a small group of students decided to give a move to students’ activities in the Faculty of Education in Bressanone and ask if they needed help because I was interested in taking some of Bolzano’s activities to Bressanone. 4| I decided to join Kikero to help develop the cultural and social life of the university, and to do my part in shaping the experience of all the students in their years here, for a University should never fail to see the importance of extracurricular activities. 5| Juggling Workshop 6| Smiley, Control Freak, Responsible 7| “We Can Work It Out” by The Beatles or “Reach For The Sky” by Social Distortion 5| Trip to the Bologna Children’s Book Fair 5| Students web radio ( In Brixen we are starting this project quite soon) Twill, eccentric, orange 6| Lively, ambitious, determined 6| Crazy, Joyful and creative 7| Mika “Kick Ass” 7| Flo Rida ft.

November 2010, 17.00 Uhr – Aula Magna Flyer presents the speech of our student representatives, Jana Rückert (Academic Senate) and Alfred Mitterer (University Council), held at the opening ceremony of the academic year on the 18th of November in the Aula Magna. I would like to thank Alfred for having sent us the text, which is now available to everybody. With A: and J: we show how the speech was divided among the two speakers. Daniel Colm - 24 - Gentili ospiti di questa cerimonia, sehr geehrte Damen und Herren, besonders begrüße ich den Landeshauptmann Dr. Luis Durnwalder, unseren Präsidenten Prof. Konrad Bergmeister, unseren Rektor Prof. Walter Lorenz, die Festgäste und die hier anwesenden Studierenden, (auch jene in Brixen, die heuer erstmals über Video Eröffnungsfeier mit verfolgen können) bona seira Alfred: Nella prima parte parleremo della nostra attività, nella seconda ci fermiamo su alcune tematiche. Per iniziare, in breve una sintesi della nostra attività come rappresentanti degli studenti: Siamo stati eletti nel dicembre dell’anno scorso, siamo in tutto in 23, distribuiti tra 15 differenti consigli o commissioni. Ma il lavoro più importante e più impegnativo, anche se forse meno visibile, è il lavoro di tutti i giorni, sono i colloqui informali, le risposte scritte alle varie richieste, critiche, suggerimenti, sono gli incontri con i vari responsabili a tutti i livelli, sono l’elaborazione di proposte, concetti, relazioni ed altro. nell’interesse degli studenti e dell’università stessa. Un altro obiettivo importante l’abbiamo ottenuto con l’introduzione della frequenza annuale nelle elezioni dei rappresentanti degli studenti, al fine di garantire una continuità e una base più ampia della rappresentanza studentesca. Infine, un’idea nuova da sviluppare è quella di un “parlamento degli studenti” che potrà rivelarsi molto utile in futuro. Fin qui la breve relazione della nostra attività.Abbiamo grande fiducia che con l’attuale consiglio dell’università il ruolo della rappresentanza possa crescere sempre di più. Premettendo e sottolineando che la Libera Università di Bolzano offre una struttura moderna e tanti servizi di ottimo livello, ci permettiamo di evidenziare alcuni aspetti ai quali prestare particolare attenzione nei prossimi mesi (e forse anni). Vogliamo fermarci – in questa sede brevemente, per motivi di tempo, ma con l’intenzione di approfondire, in sedi adeguate – su quattro punti: - comunicazione - qualità - internazionalità - senso di responsabilità Quali obiettivi siamo riusciti a raggiungere? L’obiettivo principale è naturalmente quello di dare voce agli studenti e di essere presenti e preparati nei momenti che contano. “Vogliamo essere presi sul serio” è una frase molto ricorrente tra di noi. Ebbene, anche se in passato ci sono stati dei momenti in cui siamo stati ignorati, la nostra presenza ed il nostro intervento sono esplicitamente voluti e sempre più richiesti. Ci sono stati gli incontri proficui direttamente con il Presidente e con il Rettore che si sono dimostrati molto disponibili – e colgo l’occasione per ringraziarLi sentitamente;Questi incontri, il coinvolgimento in gruppi di lavoro formali ed informali per sentire il nostro parere, la discussione che abbiamo aperto su temi centrali quali il calendario accademico, plurilinguismo e valutazione, tutti questi momenti testimoniano chiaramente che le tante ore di lavoro, e posso dire che sono tantissime, spesso a discapito del sonno, stanno portando a dei risultati considerevoli Jana: Wir wollen uns jetzt also auf vier Themen konzentrieren; wir haben diese vier gewählt, weil wir glauben, dass sie in nächster Zeit besonderer Aufmerksamkeit bedürfen: Kommunikation, Qualität , Internationalität, Verantwortungsbewusstsein Kommunikation: Mit wachsendem Studienangebot und auf Grund gesetzlich bedingter Umstellungen werden viele Abläufe in der Universität immer komplexer - auf der Kommunikationsebene ist das eine besondere Herausforderung. Besonders bei der sogenannten internen Kommunikation sehen wir noch Verbesserungspoten- - 25 - zial. Wir Studierende haben oft den Eindruck, dass Informationen und Mitteilungen nach einem willkürlichen System erfolgen: Beschlüsse, die uns betreffen, werden entweder per Mail oder über die Studentenvertreter oder zu spät oder gar nicht mitgeteilt. Wir glauben, ein klar erkennbares System, wer für welche Informationsvermittlung zuständig ist, könnte der Verwaltung wertvolle Zeit ersparen und den anderen Beteiligten viel Ärger. Uns interessiert natürlich vor allem, welche Infos wann und wie detailliert bei den Studenten ankommen. Doch wir kriegen mit, dass auch Verwaltungsmitarbeiter und Dozenten manchmal an einer etwas konfusen Informationspolitik „leiden“. Auch die Kommunikation zwischen den drei Standorten - zwischen Bozen, Brixen & Bruneck – ist nicht immer sehr ZÜG-ig. Apropos „zügig“ – hier bietet sich vielleicht ein Vergleich mit unseren vielen lieben Pendlern an: manche KommunikationsZüge kommen zu spät, andere fallen regelmäßig gar aus, wieder andere bleiben auf halber Strecke liegen. Schlussendlich müsste auch die Kommunikation nach außen, finden wir, mir größerer Sorgfalt betrieben werden. Inhalte auf unserer Uni-Webseite beispielsweise sind oft nicht aktuell oder sogar widersprüchlich. Schade ist besonders, wenn Erfolgsmeldungen, anerkennenswerte Initiativen und gute Veranstaltungen schlecht „verkauft“ werden. A: E questo ci porta al discorso sulla qualità; lo facciamo parlando di due concetti, che riteniamo strettamente collegati alla qualità: la valutazione e l’orientamento generale della Libera Università di Bolzano. Una grande maggioranza - non solo studenti - reputa l’attuale sistema della valutazione inadeguato, tant’è vero che noi continuiamo a evidenziare già da due, tre anni che la valutazione dei docenti da parte degli studenti ha bisogno di essere rivista, sia nei contenuti che nella metodologia. Un ulteriore passo in avanti sulla strada della valutazione sarebbe quello - 26 - di coinvolgere anche i vari servizi amministrativi ed altri ambiti universitari, per migliorare sempre di più l’ambiente di lavoro da una parte e l’offerta scientifico-didattica dall’altra parte. L’orientamento della Libera Università di Bolzano è, leggendo nei vari proclami e documenti di base, relativamente chiaro: la LUB “ si profila quale centro di formazione personale continua” (lebenslanges bzw. lebensbegleitendes Lernen), “collocandosi nella tradizione umanistica europea e richiamandosi ai principi di uno sviluppo ecologicamente, socialmente ed economicamente sostenibile”, - così si legge nel profilo della LUB. Certe decisioni recenti del consiglio dell’università sembrano confermare alcuni di questi aspetti, per citarne uno, p.es. le linee guida relative al plurilinguismo e le certificazioni linguistiche. Ci auguriamo che si usi la stessa chiarezza e fermezza per consolidare l’università come università e come luogo di ricerca, e non come scuola di specializzazione (Fachhochschule); „la Libera Università di Bolzano si riconosce in un ruolo di raccordo tra le teorie scientifiche e la loro applicazione“ (sempre citando dal profilo); speriamo che non slitti troppo verso le applicazioni, ma che diventi e rimanga un ateneo di alto livello scientifico. J:As a third point we consider Internationality as an important topic. If you consider “Internationality” as the number of origin countries of our students – well then we can say that the internationality of this university has grown greatly since its beginnings. We appreciate the variety of cultures and mentalities which come from this international student body. And we would like to see this cultural richness grow even more, particularly in SOME faculties. It is in this context that we would like to mention “international” events organized by some students’ associations of this university. The so-called “Snowdays” organized by the Sports Club S.C.U.B. and the so called “Global Village” by the international students’ association AIESEC, in our mind, represent the internationality of this university in a great way. Furthermore, we’re convinced that not only the university, but the whole Province can benefit from the cultural mix presented here. And that actually was one of the main reasons to establish this university here – to encourage open-mindedness. As Albert Einstein supposedly once said (and as you can now read on posters in the Trenitalia trains) : “Our mind works like a parachute, it works best when it’s open”. Just the same as with the students, we also appreciate the aspiration towards having professors and researchers from abroad. It is obvious that, if we talk about internationality, we want to say a word or two on the linguistic situation here. We think the multilingualism needs to be a factor of excellence of this institution. We hope that all members of this university community continue to invest into acquiring the 3 languages. And we are glad about the latest provisions in this regard. A: Und damit, sehr verehrte Damen und Herren, kommen wir zum vierten und letzten Punkt: Mit dem Begriff Verantwortungsbewusstsein sprechen wir bewusst und ausnahmslos alle Mitglieder unserer Universitätsgemeinschaft an, weil ein großer Qualitätssprung – um wieder den Bogen zur Qualität zu spannen – durch eine Einstellung und Grundhaltung erreicht werden kann, die eigenverantwortliches Handeln, aber auch Partizipation, Kritikfähigkeit und lösungsorientiertes Denken beinhaltet. können verantwortungsbewusst eigene Fehler eingestehen, anstatt Schuldige und Ursachen außerhalb suchen und dabei beherzigen: if you don’t learn from your mistakes, there’s no sense making them, wir können Probleme so früh wie möglich aufzeigen und sofort in Richtung Problemlösung gehen, wobei durchaus öfters an sehr kreative Lösungen und auch quer gedacht werden darf, vor allem aber können wir offen und voll Vertrauen aufeinander zugehen; all diese Verhaltensweisen sollen mehr und mehr zum Qualitätsmerkmal unserer Universität werden. Das kann durchaus auch bedeuten, über den eigenen Schatten zu springen und - egal ob als Studierende, als Lehrende oder als Mitarbeiter - über den eigenen Pflichtteil hinauszugehen. Zeigen wir, dass wir ein Herz für diese unsere Universität haben! J: Ich nehme diese exzellente Gelegenheit, die mir in diesem Augenblick gegeben ist, wahr, um vor allem jenen Personen in aller Öffentlichkeit zu danken, die täglich und über mehrere Jahre hinweg mehr als nur ihre Pflicht getan haben und allen anderen, die sich um eine zukunftsträchtige Entwicklung unserer Universität bemühen. Da wir heute als Vertreter der Studierenden und im Namen unserer Studentenvertreterkollegen sprechen dürfen, wollen wir besonders auch EUCH für euren unermüdlichen Einsatz danken. A: Wir hoffen, dass ihr euch weiterhin behaupten könnt im Spannungsfeld – und es ist ein echtes Spannungsfeld - zwischen Enttäuschung, Wut, Sprachlosigkeit einerseits und Jubel, Stolz, tief empfundener Freude über das Erreichte andererseits. Wir wollen zukünftigen Studentengenerationen der Freien Universität Bozen ein Erbe hinterlassen, auf das sie stolz sein können! Jana Rückert & Alfred Mitterer Was können wir alle im universitären Alltag praktizieren und pflegen? Wir können respektvoll Meinungsunterschiede ausdiskutieren im Sinne einer konstruktiven Streitkultur,auf Verbesserung abzielende Kritik äußern, nicht Kritik um ihrer selbst willen, aber auch mit Kritik am eigenen Handeln sinnvoll umgehen, wir - 27 - “Dove studi?” “A Bressanone” “E dov’è?” Bressanone è una piccola città tra le montagne, conosciuta da tutti (quasi) solo per il Mercatino di Natale e per le piste da sci… Io studio qui! E, se vogliamo dirla tutta, abito qui da sempre e non mi sono ancora stancata del tutto. Qui, chi cerca la vita della grande città non troverà granché, ma chi si sa accontentare, o meglio arrangiare, troverà una bella atmosfera. È proprio quest’atmosfera che mi attira e mi fa ritornare sempre a Bressanone, al mio punto di partenza. Avere una delle sedi della LUB proprio qui, in una città così piccola a confronto con le altre, non è da poco. La Facoltà offre vari corsi di laurea in varie lingue, tra i quali anche quello che ho scelto io, che è tenuto in tre lingue (italiano, tedesco e inglese). Questa è la qualità che io apprezzo di più ed è stato un incentivo in più per restare a Bressanone. Bressanone ha la fortuna di trovarsi in un contesto bilingue, ma ciò non viene sempre apprezzato, sia da chi non sa o non riesce nella seconda lingua, sia dal punto di vista politico (e qui mi fermo). Secondo me il bilinguismo è un punto di forza di Bressanone, e dell’Alto Adige in generale, del quale tutti possiamo e dovremmo approfittare. Altro punto di forza è la montagna, che si offre come passatempo per tutte le stagioni. Con soli quindici minuti di autobus ci si può gustare una discesa per le piste della Plose o, in estate, una passeggiata fino a qualche rifugio e magari anche un bel pranzetto con canederli e strudel. Non dimentichiamo poi il Mercatino di Natale, principale attrazione per i turisti, fonte di guadagno per i negozianti locali e di svago per noi studenti reduci dall’ultima lezione della giornata. Chi di voi non ha mai pronunciato la domanda “Glühwein dopo lezione?”… Nel complesso per noi studenti non c’è molto svago, almeno non pronto e finito sul famoso piatto d’argento, ma con un po’ d’informazione e un pizzico di iniziativa si riescono ad organizzare comunque serate divertenti tra amici. Non dimentichiamo che abbiamo alcuni locali carini aperti fino a tardi ed il mitico kikero che ci organizza i mercoledì sera. In conclusione, la città è molto bella e vivibile e se si cerca la calma è il posto ideale. Il tempo libero lo si riesce sempre a riempire, ovvio però che non si può pretendere la luna. Non so dove finirò in futuro, ma per me Bressanone sarà sempre “casa”. Elisa Zambiasi PRO - 28 - BA RN EO SN SE BA RN EO SN SE “Si io studio a Bressanone” “Bressanone? E perché abiti qui a Bolzano?” Questa è una domanda che mi viene posta ogni volta che conosco qualche nuovo studente a Bolzano, ogni volta che mi viene chiesto che corso frequento. La sorpresa è evidente quando rispondo che preferisco prendere il treno ogni qual volta ho lezione piuttosto che vivere nella piccola cittadina tra le montagne. La mia scelta iniziale di vivere a Bolzano si spiega in poche righe, aver passato qualche giorno nell'ostello della gioventù di Bressanone prima di iniziare gli studi mi ha fatto propendere per chiedere uno studentato nella più “mondana” (se si può dire parlando di Bolzano) e abitata Bolzano. Bressanone da turista può avere anche un certo fascino, ma Bressanone da studente non regala grandi emozioni. Una volta sceso dal treno, che mi culla per una mezz'ora tra i suoi caldi sedili, ricevo uno schiaffo gelido dal vento che attraversa la stazione e che sembra voler dire con il suo sibilo “Wilkommen in Brixen, EHEHE”. Purtroppo una volta fuori dalla stazione non si è vicinissimi all'università, bisogna percorrere una ripida discesa e poi un sottopasso. Tutta la strada è controvento. Il freddo ti stringe in una morsa infernale e penetra fino alle ossa. Disperazione. La malinconia non cessa una volta arrivati a destinazione, anzi ti assale ancor di più una volta visto l'edificio grigio-beige stagliarsi contro un cielo il cui colore in inverno si discosta difficilmente dal grigio-beige. Appena aperta la porta un tepore riscalda le ossa ma non riesce a svegliare del tutto la mente ormai in ipotermia, e questo diventa un problema quando ci si trova ad affrontare l'ardua impresa di trovare un'aula. La forma a labirinto confonde le idee già annebbiate dal sonno e dal freddo e spesso ci si ritrova in un'ala dell'edificio opposta a quella in cui si voleva in realtà arrivare, perdendo cosi altri dieci minuti per ripartire dal via e cercare di arrivare in aula. Dopo le peripezie della mattina ed il pomeriggio passato a lezione si potrebbe anche pensare di trascorrere una bella serata in qualche bel locale con i propri compagni. Beh, non a Bressanone, o per lo meno dipende se i locali sono aperti o chiusi. Mi spiego meglio: i già pochi locali hanno grossi problemi a rimanere aperti perché i residenti si lamentano per il chiasso vicino ai locali e per questo motivo quelli che ci sono chiudono ad intermittenza, lasciando cosi i poveri studenti sprovvisti di punti d'incontro. La mancanza di locali, la temperatura a dir poco rigida d'inverno e il sole che se ne va molto presto fanno finire la vita nella città verso le sei di sera. Purtroppo gli svantaggi di Bressanone non ci sono soltanto d'inverno... avete mai provato a parcheggiare la macchina a Bressanone? È praticamente impossibile, se non a pagamento ed è cosa nota che gli studenti sono spesso in bolletta. Insomma sopravvivere a Bressanone senza finire in psicoanalisi non è cosa facile, ma c'è comunque chi riesce a venirne fuori, tipo... beh, al momento non mi viene in mente nessuno, ma qualcuno ci sarà di sicuro! Io me ne resto a Bolzano, prendere il treno tre o quattro volte a settimana mi costa sicuramente di meno che passare le mie serate nei freddi vicoli Brissinensi! Filippo Campedelli Co nt ra - 29 - UNI-PARTY LIVE THE SECOND , 26.10.2010 - 30 - But it is not only the air, that is formed. Much more than that, it is the audience that is gradually formed into something particular, while listening to live-music and whilst getting involved in the sculptured whole. Like at the second UNIPARTY LIVE, it is always astounding how an atmosphere on such events gets formed. The crowd changes from minute to minute as somebody comes, another leaves, someone starts dancing, others follow and dance in individual ways – everybody expresses his/ her unique relation to music and the way the soul gets touched, somebody starts talking to a person, he/she has never talked to before, another quits talking with a person forever and again some are just sitting there, gazing at the currently performing group and trying to breathe in the music, as the words as well as the vibes pervade F6. Supported by a sedulous staff, working on the bar, supervising the exits, taking pictures and mixing the sound, the evening turned out once more to be greatly successful as a get-together for musicians and music enthusiasts. This all would not have been possible without the diligent planning, preparation (flyers, location, equipment, etc.) and after-show clearance work by a group of students, having spent their free time for it. Unfortunately, it is quite usual that substantial contributions from students occupying voluntary functions in different areas in order to render a university, such as ours, viable to enhance study life, are neither perceived nor appreciated or credited. However, for the crew of UNI-PARTY LIVE it has always been great to see that all of the concerts have been well attended and everybody enjoys himself. This leads to the point at which it has to be said to everybody, who showed up: Thank you very much for supporting the shows!!! “Music, in performance, is a type of sculpture. The air in the performance is sculpted into something.” (Frank Zappa) Having had two performances with prevalently self-written songs at the first UNI-PARTY LIVE, at the second round on 26.10.2010 it was more a wheel around to the revival of a probably almost forgotten era of music. So the first group of the evening, called “FLEX DUO”, played songs from Nancy Sinatra, The Eagles, Alanis Morissette and many more. After roughly one hour they were followed by “The Jackman” a Blues - 31 - band of five, which concluded the evening with songs from Muddy Waters, The Allman Brothers and many other famous past musicians in this genre. After a few songs, the dance floor was crowded with students dancing alone, as couples or as a group. It was a pity, when it all came to an end, because it was by far too early to break off a wonderful night that had begun just two hours before. The event started at 9 pm and had to be finished around 11:15 pm, since the lounge on F6 (Bar included) had to be cleared, cleaned and left by exactly midnight. In spite of this time issue, it is absolutely worthwhile to promote artistic talents and live concerts at our university. Every talented and passionate student has the possibility to perform in public and to enrich his own as well as the university's artistic life and consciousness. The idea to continue the UNI-PARTY LIVE sessions – until now not on a regular basis - has already been toyed with. Furthermore, in order to keep the events manifold and interesting, genres of music will be changed as far as it is possible. It would be a shame as a matter of culture, education and quality of life not to promote artistic life. As Friedrich Nietzsche already said “Without music, life would be a mistake”. Andreas Zaunseder UNI-PARY LIVE Artist and Technics Coordinator LIEBES TAGEBUCH , ich hab Sie durchschaut. Nein, leider nicht die Schwarzhaarige. Das ist mehr so ein lebenslanges LernenProjekt. Nein, die Barentscheidung, Du weißt schon, die von der ich Dir erzählt habe. Mit dem Stompino und so. Weinglasklar- in ihrer unendlichen Weisheit hat die Landesregierung von Südtirol vorausgesehen, dass die School, also die Fakultät, … also wie drück ich das jetzt mal vornehm aus, liebes Tagebuch? Dass die School, so richtig Sch …! Stopp, ich halt mich zurück. Also, liebes Tagebuch, die Fakultät, äh, den akademischen Kalender, äh, so richtig in den Sand gesetzt hat. Also jetzt mal mild ausgedrückt, ultramild. Das ist so mild, liebes Tagebuch, da ist selbst das Mensaessen Haute Cuisine. Da hat die Unibar natürlich Hochkonjunktur, und wird der Funktion als Seelenleidenauffangbecken so volle gerecht. Da braucht es einen erfahrenen Typ. Also was soll man denn sonst noch machen, bei all dem Leistungsdruck, um die Statistik zu schönen? Mir ist das zu viel, dass kannst Du mir aber glauben. Die studentische Opposition hat dann mal pronto versucht was zu unternehmen. So sind die wenigstens mal nützlich gewesen. Mit Flyern und Haftnotizen. Das nennt sich dann Protestkultur im 21. Jahrhundert und der Wasserwerfer der Staatsgewalt ist der outgesourcte Putzservice. Ganz klar, dass die Unileitung zittert, liebes Tagebuch, ich sags Dir. Würd ich da mal … Doch ich hab mich getäuscht, das war schon genug. Sofort hat der große Kaiser von E501, also der Murgia, gleich mal so richtig zurück geschlagen. Das sind ja nur die schlechtesten Studenten, die sich beklagen, liebes Tagebuch hat er gesagt. So wie ich. Stell Dir das mal vor. Bloß weil ich nicht in jede Vorlesung gehe und ein ausgeglichenes Sozialleben habe. So wie das sein sollte, liebes Tagebuch, da hat mir ja sogar neulich die Mama zugestimmt. Aber dann war ich beim Stress kurieren bei der Kneippkur mit anderen schlechten Studenten in der Unibar, so ganz am Boden zerstört, da wir einfach mal nicht die Elite sind. Aus, vorbei, liebes Tagebuch, kann man nichts machen. Da hab ich das dann plötzlich begriffen, verdammte Axt. Das liegt ja nicht an uns, sondern an dem was und von wem wirs lernen. Ich frag Dich, liebes Tagebuch, wie soll man denn ein guter Student werden, wenn die eigenen Profs, die großen Strategen, es irgendwie nicht schaffen neue Master richtig einzuführen, plötzlich eine Prüfungssession vergessen und ganz unsachlich argumentieren, wenns um sie selber geht. Das musst Du mir mal sagen, liebes Tagebuch. Also ich wünsch mir manchmal wirklich mehr Praxisnähe für die Profs. Sonst nimmt die Zahl, die nicht mehr in einen bürgerlichen Beruf resozialisierbar sind, ständig zu. Das haben wir zu Hause schon genug, wie der Papa immer sagt, alles Linke. Und das hat Südtirol nun wirklich nicht verdient. Eine gute Sache hat es wenigstens, liebes Tagebuch. Unsere Fakultät hat im interfakultären Schiffe versenken mächtig aufgeholt, das ist schon fast Bildungswissenschaftsniveau. Das nenne ich Leistung. Denn das haben wir ganz alleine und ohne einen Lobbyisten hinbekommen. Doch noch nicht alles verloren. Prost versenkt, Miorandi, prost. Aber ob das zum Weiterempfehlen reicht? Liebes Tagebuch, nach diesem Erkenntnisstress von heute Abend muss ich mich erholen, zum Glück fällt morgen etwas aus. Denn jetzt muss ich fürs Leben lernen und mich um die Schwarzhaarige kümmern ;-). Gute Nacht, Dein Pepe - 32 - LEISTUNGS STIPENDIEN 2009-2010 Seit 2006/07 vergibt die Provinz Bozen alljährlich Leistungsstipendien. Studierende der FUB müssen in einem akademischen Jahr mindestens 40 ECTS mit einem Notenschnitt von 27/30 erzielen, um sich für eines der 83 Leistungsstipendium á 1.140 Euro bewerben zu können. Dabei gilt: je mehr ECTS und je besser der Notenschnitt, desto mehr Punkte kann man erzielen und desto weiter oben ist man in der RangAuswirkungen der Proporzregelung auf die Vergabe der Leistungsstipendien - 2009/10 Südtirol Area 15 10 5 6 0 3 -5 -10 -18 -20 sanitaria scientifica sociale Leistungsstipendien Sanitaria (Claudiana) Scientifica Sociale Umanistica Allgemeine Rangordnung insgesamt 9 -15 ordnung. Insgesamt haben 278 Leute die Mindestkriterien erfüllt. Heuer wurde dabei erstmals – auf Anregung der Südtiroler HochschülerInnenschaft – die sogenannte Proporzregelung angewandt: 85% der Leistungsstipendien wurden demnach von vornherein für die 4 großen Bereiche reserviert – proportional zur Anzahl der eingeschriebenen Student/innen. 10 15 19 27 12 83 umanistica In den vergangenen Jahren hatten sich jeweils die Studierenden der „scienze dell’educazione“ in Brixen den Großteil der Leistungsstipendien auf Kosten ihrer Kolleg/innen der anderen Fakultäten geholt. Das war heuer nicht mehr so. Studierende, die im vergangenen akademischen Jahr sehr gute Studienleistungen Infobox: sh.asus erzielt haben, können sich voraussichtlich im März um ein Leistungsstipendium bewerben. Dabei können alle Prüfungen & Praktika im Zeitraum vom 1.11.2009 bis zum 31.10.2010 angegeben werden.

Ci provate a resistere, ma lo stato di standby incombe e avanza imperterrito. A quel punto istintivamente vi girate verso il vicino e chiedete “Ce l’hai??” (alludendo allo spot di un particolare cioccolatino), ma spesso purtroppo non si ottiene risposta perché il vicino è nelle vostre stesse condizioni. Magari in questi momenti si potesse inserire il pilota automatico e lasciarsi tranquillamente cadere in standby! Invece non si può… quindi, che fare? Alcune possibili soluzioni: a) Alzarsi improvvisamente e urlare “C’è una bomba in aula!” e così far interrompere la lezione b) Costruire una bambola voodoo con le sembianze del professore e infilzarla di spilli sperando che funzioni c) Appoggiare la testa su una matita molto appuntita stando attenti a non cedere… Dei metodi decisamente drastici in effetti… In realtà ciò di cui avete bisogno non è tanto un particolare cioccolatino al caffè, ma di una PAUSA! Poi non ha molta importanza quello che si fa durante la pausa, se si guarda semplicemente nel nulla, si dorme o si fanno quattro chiacchere davanti al bancone del bar, l’importante è proprio il concetto di pausa. L’interrompere anche solo per pochi minuti, l’attività intrapresa per poi riprenderla, ci dà subito un considerevole sollievo. Potrebbe sembrare una perdita di tempo, ma è scientificamente provato che il nostro cervello ha una soglia massima di attenzione e non è illimitata; perciò non prendetelo come un bisogno impellente di fannullismo, è il nostro corpo ad esigerlo! Al contrario, sforzarsi inutilmente di rimanere concentrati a lungo quando non si è nelle condizioni porta solamente ad uno scarso apprendimento e sfavorisce la memorizzazione oltre ad aumentare la propria stanchezza. In uno studio del dipartimento di Psicologia della New York University si evince che la pausa caffè o un piccolo break aiuta a lavorare o studiare meglio . Numerosi lavori scientifici hanno ormai confermato che durante il sonno il cervello fa ordine e rielabora le informazioni incamerate nella giornata, consolidando il ricordo di eventi o fatti importanti che resteranno quindi incisi nella memoria, ed eliminando le informazioni superflue. Questo studio però evidenzia che non solo la lunga pausa notturna ma anche le piccole pause quotidiane - il tempo di un caffé tra una riunione e l’altra, o tra una lezione e la successiva - vanno a beneficio della funzionalità cerebrale e in particolar modo della memoria. E poi prendersi una pausa serve anche per socializzare e levare le piccole tensioni che si accumulano e per ripartire con nuovo slancio! Quindi non facciamo gli stacanovisti (anche se per molti di noi non credo ci sia questo rischio!) pensando di guadagnare tempo, e prendiamoci una pausa quando serve. - 35 - Irene Castellan Pochi ma Buoni Rookie Day a Bressanone Mercoledì 29 settembre si è tenuto presso la Facoltà di Scienze della Formazione di Bressanone il Rookie Day. I partecipanti all’evento sono stati 20 ragazze ed un solo ragazzo. Questo vi fa capire che a Bressanone ci sono quasi esclusivamente ragazze! Il luogo d’incontro per le nuove matricole brissinesi partecipanti al Rookie Day è stato l’ufficio Kikero e Scub di Bressanone (aula 2.12), dove i partecipanti sono stati divisi in 5 gruppi da 4 studenti ed uno da 5. Le prove sostenute dalle matricole sono state 4: fare una foto artistica all’interno di una fontana situata nel centro di Bressanone, cercare ed acquistare la banana più grande; disegnare il duomo di Bressanone e fare un ritratto ad un passante che si trovasse in Piazza Duomo; dare un nome al gruppo. Dopo di questo i cari ragazzi di SCUB (Daniel ed Alberto) hanno fatto salire sui banchi di un’aula gli studenti e li hanno fatti ballare WAKA WAKA. Potete trovare il video al seguente link: www.facebook.com/#!/video/video.php?v=158612854163344 Alla fine del Rookie Day si è tenuto un aperitivo organizzato da Kikero BX in aula 2.12 al quale hanno partecipato le nuove matricole e altri studenti della facoltà. Durante l’aperitivo sono state premiate tutte le squadre partecipanti.

Fertig. Stuff. Am Ende. Stell Dir mal vor was ich heute festgestellt habe. Ich lag total falsch. Daneben. Aber so was von falsch, da wird ja selbst die Uni Bozen zu Cambridge, also relativ gesehn. Colpa mea! Ich habs vergeigt. Nein, keine Prüfungsanmeldung. Auch nicht Mathe. Nein, mit meiner Meinung, liebes Tagebuch, die wo ich Dir geschrieben hab. Schwarz auf weiß stand es da. Ja, liebes Tagebuch, in der Zeitung. Auf die gute Südtiroler Qualitätspresse ist halt Verlass. Nein, nicht die Dolomiten, die Tageszeitung. Du weißt schon, die, die manchmal besser Bescheid weiß, als die Betroffenen selber. Unsere Professoren sind überhaupt nicht so praxisfremd wie es immer scheint. Stell Dir das mal vor. Im Gegenteil, die arbeiten sogar so richtig in der Privatwirtschaft. Nein liebes Tagebuch, nicht als Taxifahrer, um sich was dazu zu verdienen wie die Studenten, so richtig, echt. Als Berater, mit allem Drum und Dran: Vertrag, Kohle, Einfluss. Man hab ich mich verschätzt, nicht Linke sind das, sondern link. Bei so viel Praxis war selbst das Management überrascht. Das hätten die denen gar nich zugetraut. Ok, da können die nichts für, ich ja auch nicht. Jetzt muss ich mich gleich mal darum kümmern liebes Tagebuch, ob denn da einer mal glatt eine Office Hour vergessen hat, vor lauter Praxisnähe. Nicht dass ich da hingehe, liebes Tagebuch, aber Prinzip ist Prinzip. Da soll sich die studentische Opposition gleich mal hinter klemmen. Hamse mal was Richtiges zu tun, als nur Emails schicken. Aber bei allem Schämen, dass ich so daneben lag, bin ich doch froh. Also dass die grad in der Krise ihr Fachwissen zur Verfügung stellen, das ist doch super. Die sollte man zu Helden der Arbeiter ernennen. Aber nur, liebes Tagebuch, wenn sie uns dafür zwei Prüfungen schenken, wegen Unterlernung. Dann wär ich auch mal endlich fertig hier. ch schau jetzt mal, ob ich nicht schon Skifahren kann, beim ersten Schnee. Es sind Masern in der Uni. Der Gefahr setzt ich mich mal besser nicht aus. Und moralisch erholen muss ich mich auch. - 37 - Dein geknickter Pepe Exchange semester in Ottawa? 26 letters tell you why! - 38 - A wesome! This is the most commonly used word here in Ottawa. It means something like “figo” in Italian or “toll” in German. All Canadians use it and love it. B eaverTails They are fried dough pas- tries, individually hand stretched to resemble a beaver’s tail. The origin of BeaverTails lies in the Byward Market, Ottawa, just 10 minutes from the university campus. C anada A federation consisting of ten provinces and three territories, Canada is governed as a parliamentary democracy and a constitutional monarchy with Queen Elizabeth II as its head of state. D ollars CAD It is the currency of Canada, but it really looks like the notes used in the Monopoly game: they all have the same size. E xchange students ...want to party instead of studying for upcoming midterms on Halloween nights...grrrrrrr!!! F rench Like Bolzano, Ottawa is a bilingual city: the majority of people in the city speaks both English and French. G reyhound Coaches! The cheapest way to travel within North America!!!

K anata The name Canada comes from a St. Lawrence Iroquoian word, kanata, meaning “village” or “settlement”. L ittle Italy-La bottega Like most big cities in North America, also Ottawa has its own Italian district, called Little Italy-Corso Italia. If you feel homesick you can go there and you will find a lots of restaurants, bars, and real bakeries. And you can taste the real Italian Espresso. And then do not forget to go to “La bottega”, an Italian gourmet deli food shop and catering service on the Byward Market. . M aple leaf It is the characteristic leaf of the maple tree, and is the most widely recognized national symbol of Canada. You can find it everywhere in Ottawa, people are very patriotic around here. N ational Capital Region It is an official federal designation for the Canadian capital of Ottawa, the neighbouring city of Gatineau, Quebec, and the surrounding area. O ttawa ...the capital city, la capitale! P arties This is something that you can not V oyager From Ottawa it is really easy to miss in Ottawa! ABC parties, Canadian parties with the riding bull, Hallowe’en (if you come in the first semester, which we would suggest) reach a lot of interesting sites: the city is just 2h30 away from Montréal, 5h30 from Québec City, around 6h from Toronto. The students associations are organizing a lot of trips: New York, Chicago, and Quebec for whalewatching. That is just the beginning... Q ueue It seems that everybody here in Ot- tawa has time to wait in the queue, in the supermarkets, on the crossroads. Even if you have to take the elevator, there’s a queue to stand in. Canadians are the best in standing in line and not pushing others. W aterfalls We are not only reffering to the Canal (French: Canal Rideau), also known as the Rideau Waterway, connects the city of Ottawa, on the Ottawa River to the city of Kingston, on Lake Ontario. In 2007, it was registered as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. In winter, a section of the Rideau Canal passing through central Ottawa becomes officially the world’s largest ice-skating rink. X mas Again if you choose to leave for the Niagara Falls, one of the most famous national symbols of Canada, which are just 6 hours away from Ottawa, you can find 121 waterfalls in the region!

Nein, es ist nicht die Person die riecht, sondern der Arbeitsplatz. Ist halt so wenn man in einer Siebdruckwerkstatt arbeitet. Nichtsdestotrotz glänzt Monica Bruschini neben ihrer fachlichen Kompetenz auch durch freundlichen und zuvorkommenden Umgang mit der häufig ungeschickten Designerschaft. Kein Wunder also, dass Monica nach den Urgesteinen der freundlichen Kompetenz, Markus Kofler und Marlies Andergassen-Sölva vom Designistan-Komitee am 8. November als dritte Preisträgerin mit dem jährlichen Markus-Kofler-Award ausgezeichnet wurde. Überreicht wurde der Preis vom Vorsteher des Markus-Kofler-Award-Komitees Martin Kerschbaumer. „Dieser Preis soll Anerkennung, Danksagung und Ansporn für weitere Mitarbeiter sein“, so Kerschbaumer in seiner Laudatio. Ja, es gibt sehr kompetenten und freundliche Mitarbeiter an der Fakultät für Design und Künste... Wie schauts in den anderen Departements aus? Simon Tumler - 41 - In this second article of the series of “FUB for Dummies” we will try to find out how to solve problems. IT-problems to be precise. Students in their first period here at the FUB face tons of issues related to the technological sphere of the university. Let`s take a student as an example that received a really cool laptop from his/her parents for graduating high-school. If it is a guy, the first thing he will realize is that on this now powerful laptop you can really play any kind of video-game with no crashes and in fluent gaming. The second thing he realizes shortly after this, is that at university actually you have all but time to play your fluently running video-games. Much more important is a working internet con- closed system, administered by a programme. It grants you insight in the management of your ticket, to know how far the procedure is, and allows the system to work efficiently even with thousands of requests. Phonecalls might be forgotten in short time and mails have the problem that they are read only by the receiver, so in case he/she is ill, nobody will be able to help you in a short time. A ticket is shared among a pool of technicians and is therefore much better to help our needs. To create a ticket you first of all need to go to http://support. unibz.it. You can also access it from your portal in the IT-services page looking for Helpdesk. But personally, I think it is easier to remember the URL. Obviously, if you have connection problems you dition of being a computer science student with problems in the computer pool. But if you are a computer science student, I hope you know how to work with the ticketing system on your own); Computer Pool Faculty of Design and Arts (just for designers with problems related to the Computer Pool); Information and Computer Technology (the most useful in our case, and generally if you have problems with your account, the scientific network, printers or computers in the library, software requests, chipcards and also with the wireless connection, as in our case). As a subject just put “Internet connection on my laptop”. Don’t leave it empty and don’t write things that are not strictly related to your problem. A brief FUB for Dummies: nection to download you timetable and an operating suite of Microsoft Office 2010 in order to realize the Accounting assignments on time. What to do to get those things? Don’t worry, flyer is here to help long-time video game addicts. You know where the I&CT offices are, so you wait for your Accounting lesson to finish in order to go upstairs in the A-building to the 5th floor to ask to fix you wireless connection. WRONG! The first thing you must know is that for those of the I&CT department a problem does not exit until it has been formulated in a ticket. This doesn’t mean you have to go to the UniMensa, ask for a pizza-ticket and write on it that you need a connection. A ticket is kind of e-mail that works in a will do it from a pc of the library, because this is an online service. Second step is to log in with your uni-account. It’s the one that starts with your first name’s initial and is followed by your surname. The password should be known to you. If yours is not working, use one of the library. Login data is your uniaccount. On the left of the page you should be able to see the button “New ticket”. Click on it and you will be able to create your first ticket. The first input you are requested is the queue. To make it simple, the queue works as the email-address but for a group of people depending on the area to which your problem belongs. Available queues are: Computer Pool Faculty of Computer Science (you need it only at the con- 42 - description like “Installation of MS Office” or “wireless connection problems” will word best. Given that we are in a perfectly working trilingual environment, there should be no problem if you choose write your ticket in any of the three official languages of the university. I don’t know how they cope with ladin, so maybe avoid it. Obviously you don’t have to forget to describe your issue. There is a big box only for this issue. Here you have to behave like with a normal e-mail, so say hello, what your problem is, what kind of computer and operative system you have and so on. File attachment is seldom required. From here on everything works from your universities email-account. If you look at your emails you will H immediately see that your request will be forwarded as soon as possible to the competent technician. It’s an automatically generated message. All issues related to your request will be managed via mail. Always answer the mail you have received from the I&CT. Don’t start a new mail, otherwise it won’t be linked to your ticket. Once your problem has been solved and you are happy, you will receive a last mail from the ICT department that asks you to evaluate the service. Personally I’m always very happy with them, so I always give them the highest mark. Written feedback is also very appreciated from the people working there. So even if the box description for feedback is “just” for negative comments, I have been told that actually they love to receive also positive feedback. Tickets have four different status descriptions: - NEW if it hasn’t been read by nobody - OPEN if it has been read but it’s not solved yet - STALLED if more information has been requested to the user and the I&CT cannot go on working without this information - RESOLVED if the ticket has been closed. Resolved tickets can be reopened from the support.unibz.it page, where you can also find all other tickets you have created so far. If you liked the whole ticketing process, then you can start a new one immediately. Tickets are never useless and in case they can’t help you, you will be told. Obviously the I&CT department cannot infringe laws copying programmes or stuff like that or fix your private problems like “my pc is broken and I don’t want to pay a private technician”. The I&CT department is payed with public money for public problems. I’d like to thank Claudia Delsante for having answered my questions related to this article. . Daniel Colm How to solve your IT-problems It's a long article so maybe a recap checklist of easy rule is the best thing to conclude: - for any problem always make a ticket - a problem does not exist until you create a related ticket - only one problem per ticket - don't send an email if you can make a ticket - send also positive feedback - love tickets! - 43 - LIEBES TAGEBUCH - 44 - jetzt war ich so mit Studieren, fertig machen, der Masterbewerbung, mit all dem Drum und Dran und der Schwarzhaarigen beschäftigt, da hab ich ja fast vergessen zu erzählen, das der Prey gar nicht mehr Dekan ist. Du weißt schon, der der mich immer so schräg auf dem Gang angeschaut hat und immer so komische Events mit Alternativen an der Uni macht. Mit Alternativessen und so. Schade, ich hat mich schon fast an den und sein Fahrrad gewöhnt. Wenn der nur nicht immer so gebrüllt hätte, das die ganze Lernpause, äh Verarbeitungsrauchpause, im F6 gestört wurd. Das war eine Aufregung, bis die nen Neuen hatten, da konnt man sich ja gar nich konzentrieren. Jetzt endlich ist er aber da, der Neue, mein ich, mit so nem gut zu merkenden Namen, Doppel G. Aber egal. Ich wollt mir die Gelegenheit nicht entgehen lassen, bei der Kleinen etwas Eindruck schinden. Bin dann gleich mal los, liebes Tagebuch, um Sekt zu kaufen, zum Anzustoßen. Der Prey hat ihr doch immer so Kopfzerbrechen bereitet, Du weißt doch noch. Gut dass der nicht mehr Dekan ist. Was ich da alles gehört hab. Und dann, stell Dir mal vor, der hat da so richtig geschwelgt im Luxus, der war ja schon fast städtebauerisch aktiv. Lesen bildet halt doch liebes Tagebuch. Stand auch in der Zeitung, hab die heute nämlich mal gelesen. Die haben so viele Maschinen für die Alternativen gekauft, da bekomm ich ja gleich einen Sozialneid. Also so viel wird in mich nicht investiert, liebes Tagebuch, das kannst Du mir glauben. Das muss ich alles selbst, äh Papa, machen. Ich find, die sollten uns mindestens eine Beteiligung an der SEL an der Fakultät zur Verfügung stellen, zum Üben. Den Flughafen Bozen würd ich zur Not auch nehmen, da wird man gleich protestfest mit und subventionserfahren. Aber auf Pepe hört ja keiner. Doch liebes Tagebuch, manchmal kommt alles anders, als ich denk, das hat schon immer die Oma gesagt. Denn als ich dann mit ihr, also nicht der Oma, mit IHR und ihren Designfreunden beim Anstoßen war und ganz in Pepeform ein paar lustige Trinkpreysprüche gerissen hab, war die Runde gar nicht so lustig, wie ich das gedacht hab. Mist. Du wirst es nicht glauben, liebes Tagebuch, die haben sogar mal eine vernünftige, nicht so kreative Erkenntnis gehabt. Bewegt hat er halt doch was, der Prey, und gar nicht wenig. Oft für sich auch, ok, aber meist für die Studenten. Deswegen war der wohl immer am Handy gehangen. Also mir war der ja fast sympathisch. Heimlich natürlich, liebes Tagebuch, nur heimlich. Als ich dann leicht beschwipst auf dem nach Hause Weg war, meine Schwarzhaarige kichernd daneben, schwirrten mir die Gedanken zwischen dem Kichern ganz wirr im Kopf. So schlecht war der Prey also doch gar nicht, sagen selbst die Kreativen. Hab ich doch gesagt, wenn das auch die Kleine sagt, der war mir fast sympathisch, nur halt falsche Fa- - 45 - kultät. Die modernen Werkstätten finden die auch ganz toll. Ich auch. Und eigentlich wird doch immer geworben, dass man hier in die Bildung investiert. In uns. Wegen der Rente und so. Und weil wir Internationalität mitbringen, wenn die nicht immer nur so bayerisch wär. Zugegeben. Also wenn ich da so meine Kommilitonen anschaue. Nur so nen Gedanke, liebes Tagebuch. Warum der Heiss sich also jetzt so heiser schreit? Der soll doch froh sein wegen den Bildungsinvestitionen. Denn bloß weil man das Geld hat Alle wegzuschicken, heißt das ja noch lang nich, dass die Alle woanders gerne genommen werden, sagt mir meine Pepelogik. Doch nur Schmarrn in der Zeitung, liebes Tagebuch! Hat auch die Oma immer gesagt. Wieder was gelernt. Prey nicht mehr Dekan - nicht gut. Investitionen -trotzdem gut. Nichts wie es scheint, keine Zusammenhänge im Universum. Und da liebes Tagebuch hat mich so ganz von Hinten ein Gedanken von meiner Körpergrößentheorie angesprungen, Du weiß schon, die für die Tesi nicht genommen wurde. Denn wenn man den Neuen und den Alten mal so vergleicht… Ich ahne schlimmes für die Designer. Nicht dass es da nen Kleinkrieg gibt. Da und vor der Haustür angekommen, liebes Tagebuch, hab ich gedacht, am besten gar nicht mehr zu denken. Bringt eh nix. Nicht in dieser Situation. Gute Nacht.
