Regional Student Group Netherlands
The RSG Netherlands welcomes YOU to the Bioinformatics PhD student group in the Netherlands.
What do we do for you?
We are creating a scientific and social network for PhD students. This is being achieved, for example, by initiating a series of informal lectures by renowned Dutch scientists (BioCafé) usually in a café/bar. This has been a resounding success; not only because of the interesting talks, but also because it provided a great opportunity to informally talk to fellow PhD students.
Moreover, RSG Netherlands organises workshops on topics such as speed-reading and presentation skills and creative thinking. Recently we also organized a highly inspiring scientific speed-dating event.
Additionally, the board of the RSG is also invited by Netherlands Bioinformatics Center (NBIC) to act as a voice for PhD students in educational affairs.
Why get involved?
Getting involved in the RSG is an excellent platform to exchange ideas and discuss your research topic with other PhD students both on a national and an international level. Creating and maintaining a global network is challenging, and requires opportunities for PhD students to meet each other. The RSG Netherlands has been very successful so far in facilitating this!
