GRADUATE STUDENTS INVOLVED wITH IPEN

Graduate students are a key part of IPEN and have been very involved since the network was created. We encourage students to attend all of our events, and often organize lunches or coffee hours to give grad students the chance to meet visiting speakers one-on-one. PhD students regularly present in our lunchtime seminar series. We also encourage grad student interested in IPE to get involved and organize their own events – such as the graduate student workshop that was organized in 2012.

If you are a graduate student who would like to get more involved in IPEN, sign up for our email list, attend a few events and start to meet other students from U of O, Carleton, Université de Québec à Montréal and the University of Waterloo who are involved in the network.
