The '''Events Department''' was part of the [[Education Directorate]] alongside the Teaching department and the Fleet Command Community until July 2020. The job of this department was to facilitate events, competitions and tournaments that allow students to put into practice what they have learned during classes. In essence the fun side of the Education Department. The department has been decentralised, giving the [[Campuses]] more ownership over the event organisation.

 +
Events cover any activity that is not a 'formal' class / lecture, but are are still aimed at educating and developing our members, with a focus on fun.
  
−
Events are any activity that isn't a class or teaching lecture.  
+
Events allow Unistas to experience a wide range of what EVE has to offer, often outside the normal day-to-day activities they might undertake.
  
−
Events allow Unistas to experience what EVE has to offer, and experience can often be the best teacher. Events can be PVP-related (although most fleets are run outside of the Events Department), but they can as well be non-combat events like industry, mining, exploration, or sightseeing.
+
Events can be typical activities such as PvP, mining, exploration etc, but includes activities such as sightseeing tours, lotteries, or trivia contests etc.
  
−
They do not even have to require undocking from a station. For example, lotteries or trivia contests fall under the Events Department's remit as much as full-blown tournaments with multiple teams and rankings. Events can even happen completely out of game!
+
== Finding and participating in events  ==
 +
To see what’s on, the best place to look is the Discord events list; most events should be scheduled there at least a few days in advance, but sometimes there will be ad-hoc events appearing. The Discord entry for each event should provide clear instructions on what the event is and how you can take part.

Anyone can run an event and our aim is to always find a way to progress any event idea our members have as long as it does not interfere with the continued running of the Uni, and don't breach [[EVE University Rules]] (without special permission). Wherever possible, events will be scheduled to deconflict with any existing activity.

== Participating in events  ==

−
To see what’s on, the best place to look is the calendar, either in game or via our [https://www.eveuniversity.org/events/ public calendar feed]. Most events should be scheduled there at least a few days in advance.
 
−
 
 
−
The [http://forum.eveuniversity.org/viewforum.php?f=104 Corporation Events] section on the forums is where you will find information and discussion on past and future events. All scheduled events should have an accompanying forum post in this section.
 
−
 
 
−
To take part in an event, you should read the calendar and forum post for the event you are interested in. These should provide you with clear instructions. Sometimes you will need to reply to the forum post to indicate your interest. This is often the case with team-based events or where numbers are an important factor.

Anyone can run an event.

−
Our aim is to always find a way to run ''any'' event idea. But of course, there are certain limits and borders which should not be crossed. Events may not interfere with the continued running of the Uni, and may not breach [[EVE University Rules|EVE University Rules]] without special permission. Events should be scheduled so that they do not conflict with other events or classes.

The [[:Category:Events|Events Page]] holds many recipes for previously-run events, and those planned for future dates.

Please feel free to use our wiki pages as a resource when planning your own event, and ''don't hesitate to ask a staff member for help''! We are happy when we can help you with creating a event which will be enjoyed by many people, because that's our job for which we aren't paid :-D
 
−
 
 
−
Jokes aside, you should really consider contacting the Events Department in advance. For example, the ability to schedule an event using the in-game calendar is restricted to those with the [[Titles Within EVE University#Sophomore|Sophomore title]] or above. So if you do not have this title yet, you really should contact a member of the Events Department to make sure that a proper calendar entry is being made. And we would do even more for you here, like making sure that your event appears in the weekly information mail, that it doesn't collide with classes, and so on.

If you want to run an event, please contact a member of the Department (details below) and we'll help you make it happen. If you are looking for inspiration for an event, the [[:Category:Events|Events Page]] holds many 'recipes' for previously-run events and there's a new Introduction to Events class being developed as well.

First decide on the type of event you want to run; you can read through various related subforums like the [https://forum.eveuniversity.org/viewforum.php?f=83 Combat Lounge] and [https://forum.eveuniversity.org/viewforum.php?f=285 Events Planning], and also the [[:Category:Events|Events Page]] on the wiki for ideas.

The Events Manager manages our Events department and providing direction and support to the Events Department team.

What is an event?

Events cover any activity that is not a 'formal' class / lecture, but are are still aimed at educating and developing our members, with a focus on fun.

Events allow Unistas to experience a wide range of what EVE has to offer, often outside the normal day-to-day activities they might undertake.

Events can be typical activities such as PvP, mining, exploration etc, but includes activities such as sightseeing tours, lotteries, or trivia contests etc.

Finding and participating in events

To see what’s on, the best place to look is the Discord events list; most events should be scheduled there at least a few days in advance, but sometimes there will be ad-hoc events appearing. The Discord entry for each event should provide clear instructions on what the event is and how you can take part.

Okay, so you want to run an event. But how to start?

Anyone can run an event and our aim is to always find a way to progress any event idea our members have as long as it does not interfere with the continued running of the Uni, and don't breach EVE University Rules (without special permission). Wherever possible, events will be scheduled to deconflict with any existing activity.

If you want to run an event, please contact a member of the Department (details below) and we'll help you make it happen. If you are looking for inspiration for an event, the Events Page holds many 'recipes' for previously-run events and there's a new Introduction to Events class being developed as well.

  • What will the event be about?
  • Who is the targeted audience? Is it open to the public or is it for E-Uni students only?
  • Would there be any requirements, like being able to fly a certain ship / fit?
  • When do you want it to happen? How much time would it take?
  • Is it the typew of event that would benefit from a prize?
  • Can you lead the event yourself, or do you need help to make it happen?

The Events Department is here to help with any element of planning and running an event, please just ask. For more information see the Guide to Running Events.
