Organizing Committee MemberYoung Investigator Network - Ucph Jun 2014 - Mar 2019Member of the organizing committee of "Young Investigator Network". This network arranges seminars aimed at young researchers (MSc, PhD and Postdoc level) working with metabolism at the University of Copenhagen. We have arranged biannual events with top academics speaking about topics ranging from career planning, academics vs. industry science, publishing and hot scientific topics in metabolism.As an organizing committee member, I have participated in planning, executing and leading the discussions at our events.
