In agreement with the IMRB Management, in 2016 we created a Committee of Researchers and Teaching Researchers (COCHEC). This committee is currently made up of 6 members elected to the Institute’s Laboratory Council.
The purpose of this committee is to participate in the life of the institute by promoting communication between the Researchers and Teaching Researchers (CR/EC) and to improve the dissemination of information within the centre by being the direct relay between the CR/EC and the Management.
We hold two General Meetings a year to disseminate information, collect comments/questions and discuss current issues with the CR/ECs.
The committee is of course available to CR/ECs throughout the year via e-mail:
The committee carries out an ongoing review of the working methods and conditions, in the broadest sense of the term, of CR/ECs at the Institute, by taking stock of and identifying the difficulties and obstacles encountered and proposing solutions by addressing various points such as:
- Communication and exchanges with different committees (Direction of the center, technical staff, young researchers)
- Management of human resources
- Distribution of laboratory space and facilities
- Scientific policy
- Functioning of platforms
- Availability of equipment and biological resources
At the same time, we have set up satellite working groups responsible for more specific studies (psychosocial risk prevention group, Green Lab, monitoring young researchers, international relations, etc.).
Some of us also sit on other committees at the Institute and UPEC:
- Committee of scientific animation of the IMRB (Patrice BRUSCELLA, Mario OLLERO)
- Animal steering committee of the IMRB (Sandrine PONS, Peggy LAFUSTE, Fatima CLERC) and ethical committee (ComEth) (Sandrine PONS and Peggy LAFUSTE)
- Council of management of the IUT UPEC (Sandrine PONS)
