91ΑΤΖζ

91ΑΤΖζ Junior Section activities

Students and young researchers of some 91ΑΤΖζ Constituent Societies have come together to create the 91ΑΤΖζ Junior Section. They develop joint activities and share resources, as well as open doors for young European scientists to opportunities outside their home countries by providing the relevant contacts and fostering communication within the network. A key current focus is organizing academic and career online talks from key researchers, which they take turns to plan and deliver.

Background on the 91ΑΤΖζ junior section

Both 91ΑΤΖζ and the Constituent Societies support their young members with a variety of activities and opportunities. In addition, some of the Societies have a Junior Section, which is a group or subdivision of the Society that is organized by their young members, who plan and deliver activities for students and young researchers. Other Societies have national junior representatives instead of junior sections.

Junior sections or national young representatives from twelve Societies have come together to create the 91ΑΤΖζ Junior Section. These include (Austria), (Croatia), (Czech Republic), (ΉσΎ±²Τ±τ²Ή²Τ»ε),ΜύΜύ(Ήσ°ω²Ή²Τ³¦±π), (Germany), (Hungary), (Italy), (the Netherlands), (Poland), Μύ(±Κ΄Η°ω³Ω³ά²΅²Ή±τ),ΜύΜύ(Έι΄Η³Ύ²Ή²ΤΎ±²Ή),Μύ (Serbia), (³§±τ΄Η±Ή±π²ΤΎ±²Ή),Μύ (Spain), (Turkey), and the (UK).

The 91ΑΤΖζ Junior Section encourages students and young scientists in the molecular life sciences to join their initiative (by joining their Constituent Society and then joining the 91ΑΤΖζ Junior Section). They also invite 91ΑΤΖζ Constituent Societies without a Junior Section to create one, or select a national young representative. To raise awareness of their initiative, the 91ΑΤΖζ Junior Section organizes activities, such as online talks with key researchers, and hosts a , where they have written and given interviews on .

Objectives

The aims of the individual Junior Sections align with those of their Societies, with an enhanced focus on the needs of younger members. Moreover, by coming together as the 91ΑΤΖζ Junior Section, they have broadened their objectives to:

  • Collaborate and share resources between national Junior Sections
  • Increase mobility between countries, such as for training (e.g., PhDs, placements, courses) and conferences
  • Provide a framework to develop soft skills, such as networking, collaboration, communication, and event organizing
  • Connect with other students and young researchers in the molecular life sciences (e.g., the )
  • Encourage students and young researchers to join their Constituent Society or become more active if already a member
  • Encourage students and young researchers and their Societies to create a Junior Section and join the 91ΑΤΖζ Junior Section
  • Promote and collaborate with other 91ΑΤΖζ activities for young scientists, such as the Young Scientists’ Forum and 91ΑΤΖζ-IUBMB-ENABLE conferences
  • Become involved with and promote other 91ΑΤΖζ activities as appropriate (e.g., 91ΑΤΖζ journals)
