Les Ajités
Welcome to our website!
We are the Ajités, the association of young researchers of the Paris Brain Institute. Our members include PhD students, postdoctoral researchers, master students, engineers, and principal investigators of the institute. Our main objective is to organize activities that are science-related and social, in the interest of all those who practice science and in particular of the PhD students and postdocs.
On this website you can find out more about who we are and the different activities we organize. Furthermore, you can sign up to become a member and contact us.

Our activities
Here is a list of the main recurrent activities that we organize. You can find more details about each of them in the dedicated page.
Every month, young researchers of the institute are invited to present their research project and discuss it with a broad audience!
We invite external speakers to talk about its research and science in general. This is a monthly occasion to broaden our scientific culture!
Lunch with the Speaker
An extended discussion with the renowned speakers invited by the institute for its internal seminar. This generally takes place after the talks and we provide a nice lunch.
Professional Afterworks
The professional breakfasts are an inter-association effort to bring together early researchers and former researchers that have started a carrier outside academia.
Every last Thursday of the month, all are invited to join us to the ground floor main hall and enjoy drinks and snacks with everyone. This is a great occasion to meet people from outside the walls of your lab!
Join our professional teachers to relax in the walls of the Institute while learning and practicing yoga!
Every 1st Thursday and 3rd Friday of the month, we invite everyone, and especially foreign PhD students and postdocs to share a lunch!
Once a year, we hold a scientific poster contest, during which posters from PhD students and postdocs are judged by top scientific editors and we award prizes!
