[CENL-EC] Draft Call for contributions and some ideas for keynote speakers

[PETSCHAR Hans]

Dear Susanne & colleagues,

Thank you for your information and recommendations.

I certainly agree with your proposals to ask first:

Guillaume Lafortune / Paris and Harri Sahavirta / IFLA

As for the internal view:


  *   I assume we will get guided tours from the colleagues of the BnF on the new renovated site Richelieu, however it could be of interest to have a more in depth presentation focusing on the sustainability aspect for this project
  *   The new National Library of Luxembourg has been explicitly designed as a green and sustainable library. It might be interesting to hear some lessons learned since the opening in 2019 ("From theory to practice")

Best wishes
Hans Petschar

Betreff: [CENL-EC] Draft Call for contributions and some ideas for keynote speakers


EXTERNE E-MAIL: Bitte Vorsicht bei Inhalt, Links und Anhängen.
Dear EC members,

At the secretariat we are starting to prepare for the next meeting and the upcoming AGM. As you may have seen already, we informed the members of the hotels for the AGM yesterday. Now it is time for the next steps.

As agreed upon during our meeting in September, we send you the draft for a call for contributions for next year's annual general meeting in Paris. You will notice that we tried to keep it as open as possible. Do you have any other ideas or amendments?

We also have looked for potential keynote speakers.

As external speakers, we have some well-known (at least in Germany) persons in mind who often speak on sustainability from different perspectives:

*             Ranga Yogeshwar - a physicist and science journalist from Luxembourg living in Germany. His grandfather was librarian S. R. Ranganathan

*             Alexander Gerst - European Space Agency astronaut and geophysicist from Germany. He was part of the ISS Expedition in 2014

*             Auma Obama - Kenyan-British community activist, sociologist, journalist, author; sister of former president of the United States, Barack Obama

Not as prominent as the above-mentioned is
Guillaume Lafortune - Director, Sustainable Development Solutions Network Paris; Scientific Co-Director of the SDG Index
However, as he is located in Paris, we would prefer to ask first him whether he could speak at the AGM. It would be the most sustainable solution as he would not have to travel at all.

And as an internal keynote speaker, we would like to ask Harri Sahavirta - He is the Chair of IFLA Environment, Sustainability and Libraries (ENSULIB) section 2021-2023, from Finland.

We are still looking for another keynote speaker from a (national) library or another heritage institution for the internal view. Do you have any preferences or ideas?

Thanks for letting us know your comments on the draft call and your preferences/ideas for the keynote speakers by 15 November 2022.

Thanks and best regards,
Susanne
