Institute of Biology Leiden

IBL PhD and PostDoc Association (IPPA)

The IBL PhD and Postdoc Association, also known as IPPA, seeks to create a platform for PhDs and Postdocs at the Institute of Biology Leiden to interact with one another. IPPA arranges social gatherings approximately four times each year, which include food and drinks, with the goal of integrating PhDs and Postdocs from different research fields. IPPA's events will be expanded to include opportunities for professional growth and networking.

IPPA provides assistance to all PhDs and Postdocs employed at the IBL and is happy to help with any inquiries. IPPA aims to serve as a link of communication between PhDs, Postdocs, and the IBL management team. To achieve this, a member of IPPA participates in the IBL Institute Council, and some IPPA initiatives aim to raise concerns and questions from PhDs and Postdocs and present them to the IBL management team.
