Student affairs Commitee
The UNIQUE Student Affairs Committee is a student-run committee within the Unifying Neuroscience and AI - Quebec (UNIQUE) research cluster designed to support and empower students working at the intersection of Neuroscience and AI within Quebec. In support of this mission, we focus on three main areas:
Trainee-driven programming. Working to plan, coordinate, and execute community-programs of interest to trainees. Major events include the UNIQUE Student Symposium and the MAIN conference.
Scientific direction. Represent trainee voices in guiding UNIQUE's scientific activities, making sure that future initiatives reflect the diverse interests, expertise, and experiences of our broader community.
Trainee advocacy and outreach. Advocating for trainee interests both internally to UNIQUE and through outreach to the broader, international neuroscience-AI communities.
