"I am applying for the position of vice president because I have been actively involved in the events organized by UiAdoc, and through my experience, I can bring some new perspectives to its activities, such as:
1. Contribute to the community building of UiAdoc: networking of Ph.D. students and postdocs with professionals and senior researchers. Target: opportunities for research, jobs, exchange, etc. in Norway, Nordic countries, and maybe the EU.
2. Organize an event where Ph.D. students and postdocs present their theses (or projects) in 3 minutes. Innovative projects could win trophies.
3. Workshop on building a network and career development: Invite a senior (available resources).
4. Workshop on how to pitch your research
5. Pitfalls to avoid: Front-to-front Ph.D. students and postdocs
6. Social gatherings: Night movies, Euro vision, quizzes, and games,
7. Party/Dancing night
After being a Ph.D. representative for one year and a half, I have accumulated some soft skills that could benefit the UiAdoc community, among which are organizational skills, supportive capacity, etc. I also have experience as a temporary representative of an informatics center. Through this experience, I have developed skills to negotiate
UiAdoc also needs a more creative board to make it more visible and sustainable".
