At IBEC, we recognize that a friendly, supportive environment and strong bonding among colleagues are essential for producing confident, open-minded research. The PhD Committee is a group of PhD students from all IBEC. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Our main goal is to bridge between students and the rest of the IBEC\u2019s community by preparing and promoting activities. We were founded in 2013 and currently meet twice a month to discuss important issues for better integration, representativity and improvement of PhD student’s life and work at IBEC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are divided into the following work commissions: Communication, Activities, Finances, Training and Relations with Administration. We are actively in communication with Administration to raise important issues and topics on behalf of the other PhD students. For example, since our foundation, we have always collaborated with Human Resources to adapt the training courses offered by IBEC to student needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moreover, we organize social events to facilitate networking among researchers. One of the events we are most proud of is the PhD Retreat, consisting of a two-day event, usually taking place outside the city. The days are filled with activities to bring people closer and talks about topics of interest such as career options after the PhD, scientific communication and mental health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Among our various achievements, we would like to highlight the Mentoring Program that was developed in collaboration with the Postdoctoral Committee and with the support of Human Resources. This program is intended to contribute to the career development of both PhD students as mentees and postdoctoral researchers as mentors. PhD students can ask for advice and guidance towards their future goals and postdoctoral researchers have the opportunity to develop their leadership skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
