Early Career Researcher Network
The VOLT Early Career Researcher Network meets every second Friday of the month and is a space for anyone ranging from MSc candidate to Postdoc (who work with research related to volatiles) to bring questions, concerns, and successes to be discussed.
The aim of the network is to create a safe space for early career researchers to network with like-minded people in order to strengthen inter-personal relationships and exchange of information that will aid in the overall success of the VOLT center, the Department of Biology, and related research outputs. For the first meeting we used post-it notes to make anonymous notes about four topics related to our work (technical and inter-personal), and then stuck them, by topic, on paper to be discussed by the group.
The discussion was so fantastic that the meeting lasted three hours.
We came away with plans for discussing policy recommendations at the next meeting and ideas for external guests we would like to host at a meeting in the future.
We look forward to future network meetings and we encourage any/all that feel they may benefit to join in the future.

VOLT’s Early Career Researcher Network mødes hver anden fredag i måneden og er et sted for alle rangerende fra kandidatstuderende til Postdocs (arbejdende inden for forskning relateret til volatiler) til at stille spørgsmål og diskutere bekymringer og succeser.
Formålet med netværket er at skabe et sikkert sted for unge forskere at samarbejde med ligesindede for at styrke de inter-personlige relationer og dele information som kan hjælpe med den generelle succes af VOLT centeret, Institut for Biologi, samt relateret forskning. I det første møde, brugte vi post-it sedler til at lave anonyme noter omkring fire forskellige emner med relation til vores arbejde (teknisk og inter-personligt), og så satte vi dem, fordelt i emner, på papir så de kunne blive diskuteret af gruppen.
Diskussionen var så fantastisk, at mødet varede i tre timer.
Vi afsluttede mødet med planer om at diskutere anbefalinger om regler samt ideer for eksterne gæster vi gerne vil agere vært for i fremtiden.
Vi ser frem til fremtidige møder og anbefaler alle, der føler at de kan drage nytte af dem til at komme i fremtiden.
