News | Meet the NICA PhD/rMA-council

We are happy to introduce the new NICA PhD/RMA-Council! 

The Council represents the interests of all of NICA’S PhD candidates and rMA-students and seeks to promote the exchange of knowledge, skills, experiences, and ideas. We will keep ourselves informed of PhD candidates’ and rMA-students’ concerns and raise them with NICA’s director and Advisory Board. We plan to host a range of events, including workshops, ‘borrels’ and work-in-progress meetings. We would like to do this in collaboration with you, so we are happy to help promote and facilitate events organized by you. The Council aims to increase the social cohesion and collaboration within the NICA community.
