The VAAM Board, in cooperation with the Young Scientist Network, is planning to introduce VAAM Young Ambassadors at individual microbiology sites.

This role is intended to be filled by motivated PhD students or postdocs who, in addition to the established contact persons at the institutes, will act as local points of contact, particularly for the next generation of VAAM members.

The role of VAAM Young Ambassadors offers attractive benefits:

• Insights into the work and structures of the VAAM and visibility within the professional society
• Early networking within a professional, Germany-wide network
• Participation in an exclusive VAAM Young Ambassador meeting as part of the VAAM Annual Conference
• A Young Ambassador T-shirt as a badge of recognition
• A VAAM certificate confirming your voluntary commitment
  
  
  The Young Ambassadors will be officially introduced at the conference in Berlin. If you are interested in becoming a Young Ambassador, please contact the VAAM office or the Young Scientists Network!
