The Junior Committee of the Andalusian Center of Developmental Biology is an association formed in 2010 by PhD students of the Andalusian Center of Developmental Biology. This association's primary objective is to ensure the scientific and personal welfare of students, technicians, and postdocs at the center. The committee currently has over 15 members from different groups and areas.
Scientific events The Junior Committee tries to keep the student community informed about the seminars organized by the Center, where researchers of international importance are invited to chat with anyone from the Center, on Friday slots. In this way, scientific interaction with experts in their fields is made possible, in order to exchange ideas or even enriching experiences for future professionals. In addition to these routine activities, every year this committee organizes the invitation of a researcher chosen by the students of the Center to give a seminar and to organize training sessions. Finally, this group is a point of contact for students in case they have doubts regarding the PhD program.
I Jornadas de Proyección Laboral en Ciencia. Organized by Ana Martínez-Abarca, Genoveva Guerrero and Daniel Barcenilla.
Social Events The main goal of the Junior Committee is to integrate everyone into the CABD community. To this end, quarterly Welcome parties are organized where all members of the Center, regardless of their rank, are invited to spend time together in a relaxed atmosphere. In addition, this group is responsible for the organization of numerous social events at Christmas time, including sports competitions, social events and scientific dissemination.
The Junior Committee is also a mediator in case of personal and/or professional problems within the Center. Finally, as a student association dedicated to the students, it is a mouthpiece for any complaint, suggestion or information to be disseminated either by institutional mail or to be transmitted and discussed at the Center's meetings.
