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.
