The Social Committee is focused on organising events that bring PhD's and PostDocs of PSI together, be it for a BBQ or an ice skating event. As the Institute's location is rather secluded, it is ever more important to promote a community...and what is a better way to do that than grilling some meat and vegetables on a sunny day or enjoying a cup of hot punch at a local Christmas market together ? :-)
The committee organises events regularly, usually on a monthly basis. Their nature differs based on the time of the year but recent examples include barbecuing behind OASE, ice skating in Zurich, and visiting a Christmas market in Windisch. The committee also tightly cooperates with the Music Club of PSI, helping with concert organisation; at the same time, the Music Club often provides music during the events of the Social Committee.
The social committee is currently inactive. If you would like to be the head of this committee, get in touch by writing to phdassociatio@psi.ch.
