The association is organized by postdocs who volunteer with their time, energy and new ideas!
We are primarily postdocs in Life Sciences at UNIL (FBM), but open to anyone interested and concerned by the scientific postdoc experience at UNIL. APNS@UNIL is not-for-profit, confessionally and politically neutral.
“I wish that the APNS@UNIL creates a sense of community amongst us and that we promote the resources, tools and support that blossoms the best of us as researchers.” Silvia A. Fuertes Marraco
The association is directed by a council with members that carry out the various tasks (president, vice-president, secretary, treasurer). Our status can be found here.
