Junior Researchers Governance Committee (JRGC)

The Junior Researchers Governance Committee (JRGC) aims to integrate students into CEDIS. This committee comprises only students and plays a crucial role in promoting their active participation in CEDIS activities. It aims, above all, to be a space where students feel comfortable talking to colleagues in the same situation. Your supervisor and the coordinators of the Knowledge Centres and Projects are there to help with the scientific content, and the CEDIS Science Management Team is there to help you further with all strategic and organizational issues. But it can be much nicer to talk first to a colleague, who will share their experience and encourage you!

  1. Welcome aboard! Responsible: Anabela Brízido. You have just begun your journey at NSL, you have heard of CEDIS, but what is it exactly? The Science Management Team can welcome you and explain everything, but you would love to talk to another student first.
  2. Officer for Promotion of Active Junior Researchers: Emellin Oliveira. You are eager to publish in a high-impact journal and apply for funding. The Science Management Team is there to help you, but you would love to talk to another student first.
  3. Text Clarification Officer: Alberto Lima Filho. You have written a text, and you would like to improve its quality. Your supervisor is there to help you, but you would love to talk to another “student” (although Alberto is doing his second PhD).
  4. Quality Assessment Officer: Marília Conti Higa. Your supervisor is there to explain the quality criteria that your work has to follow, but you would love to know how another student sees it.
  5. Coordinator of the PhD Work Group: Saba Sotoudehfar. Your supervisor is there to help you with your thesis, but you would love to take part in regular meetings with other students to discuss your projects, thesis chapters, scientific articles, and fundraising projects.
  6. Inclusion Officer: Ariana Paraíso. You do not feel included in CEDIS. The Governance Committee is there to help you, but you would love to talk to another student first.
  7. Publication Officers: Diógenes Silva and Pablo Gaenda. You have heard about CEDIS Press and you would like to publish your work there. The submission processes are explained on the CEDIS website, but you would love to talk to a student first.
  8. Event Coordinator: Elena-Delia Bancu. You would love to organize a lecture, a roundtable, a workshop, or even a conference. The coordinator of your Knowledge Center or Project is there to discuss all the scientific aspects, and the Science Management Team is there to help you with all strategic tasks, but you would love to talk to another student first.
  9. Science Communication Officer: Beatriz Sena. You have a great output – a publication, a talk in an important conference… You would love that it gains more visibility. The Science Management Team is there to help you, but you would love to talk to another student first.
  10. Community Bridge Officer: Mercedes Rebelo. You want your research to have an impact on the real life of people. You have heard about “citizen science”, but you do not know what it really means. You want to dialogue with several stakeholders in our community (NGOs, Civil Associations, etc.). The Science Management Team is there to help you, but you would love to talk to another student first.
  11. Cediscast and Speedcast Responsible: John Wolf. You would love to organize a podcast about your research subject. The coordinator of your Knowledge Center or Project is there to discuss all the scientific aspects, and the Science Management Team is there to help you with all strategic tasks, but you would love to talk to another student first.

  13. Gender Perspective and Multiple Forms of Discrimination (due to “race”, “age”, “health”, “physical appearance”, etc.) Responsible: Ana Cansado. You would love to introduce the gender or the discrimination perspective in your research. Your supervisor is there to discuss all the scientific aspects, but you would love to talk to another student first.
  14. Transforming Academic Expertise into Valuable Policy Skills: Júlia Schütz Veiga. If you are seeking to translate your academic legal knowledge into consultancy or advisory services related to the Law of the Sea and Ocean Governance, Júlia Schütz Veiga is eager to assist you.
  15. Interdisciplinary Collaboration Officer: Oluwatoyosi Abikoye. If you’re interested in exploring new research ideas with students from different subject areas but aren’t sure where to start, the coordinator of your Knowledge Center or Project can guide. However, you may find it helpful to speak with another student first.
