YBSM Applicants 2025
Now, we’re expanding our team! Are you an early-career microbiologist with a passion for science communication and outreach? If so, we’ve got an exciting opportunity for you!
Under the umbrella of BSM, the Young BSM (YBSM) board was established three years ago to bring together young Belgium-based microbiologists eager to share their love for science with the world. Together, we organize the Belgian edition of the International Microorganism Day and participate in other popularization events such Nerdland festival and Ekoli workshops, where we not only connect with the public but also grow as science communicators and leaders. But also, we are involved in scientific writing activities (https://www.eoswetenschap.eu/tag/microbe-van-de-maand).
We’re looking for enthusiastic and proactive members to join us in shaping the future of microbiology outreach in Belgium. Do you have a talent for being a media curator, illustrator, or other unique skills that can help us grow? We want to hear from you!
By joining the YBSM board, you’ll play a key role in defining our upcoming goals and activities. We expect a commitment of two years from all board members and active participation, including attending our monthly meetings and contributing to our outreach efforts.
To ensure our board represents the entire Belgian microbiology community, we strongly encourage applicants from the French-speaking regions of Belgium to apply. If you’re an early career scientist, and passionate about science communication, this is your chance!
