Dear members of the MOL

With today's mail, we give a short report of the past kick-off event of the MOL working groups and call attention to upcoming events. In addition, we announce a summer break of the MOL meetings for the months July and August. A big thank you goes out to all the participants who contributed to each MOL meeting and turned it into an exciting and valuable experience. Since the format has proven itself, we will announce the new rotation in good time.

With best regards
Your MOL Board

Monika Plozza (RF), Naemi Jacob (WF), Noemi Honegger (TF), Sandra Gratwohl (KSF), Tanya Kasper Wicki (GWM)

In this section, MOL representatives or members of the board introduce themselves to give an insight into the many activities in which MOL members are involved.

Today in focus: Monika Plozza, PhD student and research associate at the Chair for International, Constitutional and Comparative Law of Prof. Dr. Martina Caroni, LL.M. (Yale) as well as a member of the MOL board.

"Every university needs a strong mid-level faculty. The MOL can actively shape the current and future working and research conditions of the scientific staff members. That's why I participate in the academic self-governance as MOL board member because the future belongs to junior scholars!"

Kick-Off event of the working groups

On May 6th, the kick-off event of the MOL working groups took place via ZOOM. At this point, a big thank you for the great turnout! After introductory words of the board regarding the organizational form of a working group, Markus Schreiber presented the successes of the Sustainability Working Group achieved so far and gave valuable and practical tips to the other working groups, which are just about to take off. The first think tank then started in breakout rooms. For the WG Diversity and the WG Women* in Science, another individual kick-off event is already scheduled (see above). Interested parties can contact us at any time at molremove-this.@remove-this.unilu.ch.  

MOL-Meetings

The MOL meets monthly for a joint lunch to discuss current issues affecting the mid-level faculty members and to coordinate future actions. All who are interested in the activities of the organization and/or have a concern for the MOL are invited to attend. The next meeting will be held on Tuesday, 1 June 2021 (12:30-1:30 p.m.), click here for the ZOOM invitation.

The first meeting after the summer break will be in September. Information will follow in a later infomail. During the summer months we will be happy to receive your suggestions via mail.
