Academic citizenship
Early Career Researchers network
I participate in and help coordinate the Early Career Researchers (ECR) network within the RECAP Preterm project following the first General Assembly (GA, held in Frankfurt in January 2018). We hold an annual meeting (in person) as well as two teleconferenced meetings during the year where people have the opportunity to present and discuss their work.
Conference organisation
I was a member of the organising committee for the Journées Francophone de Recherche en Néonatologie, the largest French-language neonatal conference in the world, from December 2017 until December 2022. Committee members are responsible for conference organisation, abstract review and providing facilitation and moderation of individual sessions during the actual conference.
In 2022, I co-organised the DataSHIELD Conference), held in a hybrid format with both attendees at the venue in Barcelona and virtual attendance online.
Journal Club
From 2017 until 2020, I was involved in running and supervising a monthly English language Journal Club in the Obstetric, Perinatal and Paediatric Epidemiology unit (EPOPé) at INSERM. The objective was to allow students and researchers to practise their epidemiological and English skills in a non-threatening environment.
