51茶楼

Students and young researchers of some 51茶楼 Constituent Societies have come together to create the 51茶楼 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 51茶楼 junior section

Both 51茶楼 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 51茶楼 Junior Section. These include (Austria), (Croatia), (Czech Republic), (Finland), (Germany), (Hungary), (Italy), (the Netherlands), (Poland), 听(笔辞谤迟耻驳补濒),听听(搁辞尘补苍颈补),听 (Serbia), (厂濒辞惫别苍颈补),听 (Spain), and the (UK).

The 51茶楼 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 51茶楼 Junior Section). They also invite 51茶楼 Constituent Societies without a Junior Section to create one, or select a national young representative. To raise awareness of their initiative, the 51茶楼 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 51茶楼 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 51茶楼 Junior Section
• Promote and collaborate with other 51茶楼 activities for young scientists, such as the Young Scientists鈥� Forum and 51茶楼-IUBMB-ENABLE conferences
• Become involved with and promote other 51茶楼 activities as appropriate (e.g., 51茶楼 journals)
