Committees
PhD Students Committee
The PhD Students Committee was established in 2019 to serve as a representative body for all PhD students affiliated with CIIMAR. The committee aims to facilitate effective communication between students and the institution’s directive board, advocate for student rights, and organize activities that foster capacity-building and networking opportunities. These initiatives further encourage collaboration among students, researchers, and collaborators from the broader CIIMAR community, including all associated faculties.
The Committee organizes regularly a diverse range of social and scientific activities, including an annual reception to new PhD students, informal seminars featuring early career researchers and industry professionals from biotech companies, workshops, and the annual Blue Think Conference – the committee’s flagship and largest event.
