Join the new VPHi Young Scientists Committee!

The VPHi Young Scientists Committee is an active group of VPHi student members with the following objectives:

• Promote the VPHi community and support the career development of young scientists within it
• Highlight excellence within the VPHi by providing student members with recognition and awards as a label of quality
• Foster scientific interactions between junior and senior community members across VPHi disciplines
• Encourage collaborations and mentoring activities among VPHi students
• Promote the mobility of student members within the VPHi community

To achieve these goals, the committee organises a variety of engaging activities:

VPHi Keynote Webinar Series:
A quarterly series of online seminars featuring high-profile members of the VPHi community. This event offers young scientists and the broader VPHi community access to the expertise of senior members.

VPHi Summer School:
An annual event aimed at developing skills relevant to both academia and industry. The Summer School provides a comprehensive overview and hands-on experience in cutting-edge VPH research, with key concepts presented through illustrative cases and enriched by expert-supervised analysis.

Mentoring Events:
These events are designed to enhance the learning experience for PhD students, offering a unique opportunity to network with senior community members and gain valuable career advice and insights.

Dissemination Activities:
We share information and updates via the VPHi newsletter and our social media channels. Follow us on X, LinkedIn and Instagram!
