Time to introduce the next board members: our trea

Time to introduce the next board members: our treasurers Shari and Emma!💰💵

Hi everyone, we are Shari Pepplinkhuizen, second year PhD candidate at the department of Cardiology location AMC and Emma Bouman, second year PhD candidate at the department of Epidemiology and Data Science location VUmc. Together, we’re responsible for all finances within ASAP, we keep track of all ASAPs expenses and make sure that we are able to organise some cool events all year round! Being treasurer together is extra nice because it is an excuse for us to meet up in a different coffee bar in Amsterdam every time. Besides being responsible for the finances we of course also love to help organising one of our big events or Pimp my webinars.

Did you know you can always contact us if you have a great idea for PhDs? We’re happy to see what we can do and check if there is budget to organise it.

Have a great day!
Shari and Emma

📢 Career Event Committee 2022 looking for members! 📢

You, a (future) PhD, have an extremely broad and valuable skill set ready to be used in this modern world. But how will you put it to work? The Career Event 2022 will help PhD’s to figure out the next step in their career, and we are looking for committee members to organize the event!

The exact date of the event is to be determined by the newly formed Career Event Committee -aka you-, but is expected to be in the second half of 2022. In addition to the experience of organizing this large, real-life event with an enthusiastic group of peers, committee members will also be compensated with 1 ECT for their PhD portfolio.

Interested in a position in the Career Event Committee? Or do you have any questions regarding the position or the event? Please contact us via careereventpromovendi@gmail.com.

It’s time to introduce the next board member: our new vice chair Sunny! 📣🎉

Hi everyone! My name is Sunny Nijbroek and currently in the 4th year of my PhD at the Anesthesiology department of location AMC. I’ve been part of the PhD association for several years now and I like organizing social and fun events where we get to know each other whilst learning new things. In my spare time I love discovering new places, playing sports and spending time with my girlfriend and friends.

A PhD candidate is highly dependent on the supervisor and promotor, and thus, in a vulnerable position. PhD candidates might fear that reporting an issue will negatively impact their PhD trajectory or their future career. That is where ASAP comes in. As vice chair of ASAP, I believe it’s important to ensure a socially safe working environment for all of our PhD candidates.

Did you know that ASAP, apart from organizing fun

Did you know that ASAP, apart from organizing fun events, is working hard on representing your interests as a PhD candidate both within Amsterdam UMC and on a national level? 😱
This week the Board of ASAP had a training with Jasper Groen from TAQT, who upgraded our knowledge and skills on the issues such as:
➡️Which forms of Governance of Associations exist?
➡️How can Associations influence decisions that are made by Boards of higher levels and have consequences for those whom the Association represents?
➡️How to negotiate with Boards of higher levels effectively, so that our opinions will be taken into account?

We are going to implement all the acquired knowledge ASAP (ha-ha) in order to make a difference for *you*! 🤩
