Postdocs in Flames (PiF)

A network for InFLAMES Postdoctoral Researchers

InFLAMES Flagship has its own Postdoctoral Researcher network focused on promoting the networking and offers education and career advancement opportunities to its members. In addition, the network organizes various social events and gatherings, as well .

So far PiF has organized company meetings, lectures, competitions and casual evening get-togethers, among other things. The planning of the network’s activities is managed by a dedicated committee consisting of InFLAMES Postdocs. The committee is always open for new members and suggestions.
