Hello everyone! My name is Elisa Romero Avila, and I'm excited to introduce myself as the new ISB Student Representative and Social Media Officer for 2025-2027. I am currently pursuing my PhD at the RWTH Aachen University in Germany.
First, I would like to thank Shaye Tiell for the amazing work she has done as Student Representative over the past two years. I'm sure you all enjoyed the student night out and benefited from the student-mentor lunch she organized. These events brought together more than 400 students! A big thank as well to the ISB, Qualisys and Visit Stockholm for sponsoring the student night out.
In the upcoming weeks, I will be sharing a student survey to get to know our community and to help guide future initiatives, such as workshops, networking opportunities, and student-focused events.
In the meantime, here's a look at upcoming events from our Affiliate Societies, along with jobs and opportunities you might find interesting.
