PhD council of the Informatics Institute (IvI)

The IvI PhD council was established in early 2020 as an initiative proposed by the PhD community of IvI. Our task is to care for the interest of PhD candidates of the Informatics Institute at the University of Amsterdam.

The mission

The mission of the IvI PhD council is threefold:
1. create a sense of community among IvI PhDs;
2. provide a voice and a platform for them to address issues and relevant topics;
3. provide a periodic update to the IvI management team on behalf of the PhD community and give advice wherever we can.

Join us

The IvI PhD Council has recently been started, and we are recruiting. We seek to improve the experience of PhDs during their time at IvI in a broad variety of ways. These include:

  • Planning fun activities to bring the PhD community together, so that you can know your colleagues and their works better.
  • General support on any issues PhDs are faced with.

Buddy

If you just started at the Informatics Institute or when you are around for a while, but feel like having a buddy, let us know.
There are PhD students who like to help you to find your way around at the UvA or in Dutch society, answer your questions, give tips, have a coffee or a walk.
Send a mail to the PhD Council.
