The JRG is a resource for the center’s competence hub, the Digital Life Norway Research School, and the center’s early career researchers. As a member of the JRG you get unique insight into an organization which is one of the driving forces of Norwegian biotechnology, and you get an opportunity to help guide the center to best accommodate early career researchers. JRG members are often invited to represent younger researchers at various DLN events, such as strategic meetings, conferences, and the policy forum. Learn more about the current JRG members.
The JRG tasks are varied and depend on the skills of the members. Some examples are communication within the center and with external partners, helping with event planning and execution, contributing to the framework of the DLN Research School courses, reading and editing call proposals and applications, attending meetings and the DLN annual conferences, and more. The tasks are highly versatile and often open to personal preferences, so new JRG member(s) should be someone with initiative and drive. The time commitment varies and is adjustable depending on your situation, but a minimum of two hours per month and some travelling during the year should be expected. You also get to travel and meet interesting people in the Norwegian biotechnology community. The JRG has 1-2 annual meetings in person to discuss strategy and current projects (and other fun stuff), in connection with larger events.

Kick-off meeting with new JRG members: 20 October 2022 at the Digital Life 2022 conference in Trondheim
