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. Please use our wiki pages when planning your own event, and don't hesitate to ask us for help, that's what we are here for.

First decide on the type of event you want to run. There are some questions you should be asking for yourself during this stage:

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.

Can I run an event?

Any member of the Uni is free to schedule and run events.
Events should be scheduled so that they do not conflict with other activites.
It is advised that standing events and tournaments do not monopolize the calendar for longer than 2-3 weeks at a time.
During wartime somme events might not be suitbale to run and might need to be rescheduled.
Please speak to the Events Manager if you are planning an event involving participants or organizers who are not in EVE Uni.

How can The Events Department help?

The Events Department staff have experience running a range of events throughout the Uni and are more than happy to share their experience. In addition to guidance in the planning stage, the Department can assist with providing prizes, planning logistics, and using their experience to drive interest and participation.

Our job is to make sure your events happen!

-Events are anything that isn't a class or teaching lecture. They can be PvP related, non-combat or about industry, mining or exploration. A simple sightseeing trip is an event, as is a lottery, or a full blown tournament with teams and rankings.
+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.
-=== How do I find out about events?  ===
+Events can be typical activities such as PvP, mining, exploration etc, but includes activities such as sightseeing tours, lotteries, or trivia contests etc.
-To see what’s on, the best place to look is the calendar, either in game,&nbsp;on [https://gate.eveonline.com/ Eve Gate], or via our [http://calendar.eveuniversity.org/ public feed]. Most events should be scheduled there at least a few days in advance. There are also unscheduled events, most often PVP fleets; you should watch Corp and Alliance chat and in game mail for these. The [http://forum.eveuniversity.org/viewforum.php?f=104 Corporation Events] section&nbsp;on the forums is where you will find information on past and future events, events planning and discussion. All scheduled events should have an accompanying forum post in this section.
