FIMM PhD and Postdoc Council

The FIMM PhD and Postdoc Council is an independent researcher body that provides the organisational framework needed to effectively organise events, as well as the autonomy to explore and develop new ideas supporting doctoral and postdoctoral research training. New council members are nominated following a bi-annual cycle, using a voting system.
