New Board for ICONS
Arturo Villegas, Blanca Belsa, Monserrat Alvarez, Jana Ockova, Cristian Boghiu and Pablo Fernandez are the new officers of the ICFO Organization and Network of Students
Each year since its creation in 2004, the general assembly of the ICFO Organization and Network of Students (ICONS) appoints a new board of officers by an open vote. This year the new leaders are Arturo Villegas (President); Blanca Belsa (Vice-President); Monserrat Alvarez (Secretary); and Jana Ockova (Treasurer). In order to expand the scope of actions and involvement of ICONS members in the network’s activities, the positions of Communications and Diversity Officers have been created this year, with Cristian Boghiu and Pablo Fernandez respectively assuming these roles.
ICONS promotes educational activities for students boosting their career opportunities by drawing them closer to the photonics community. The network also endeavours to intensify the interaction and collaboration of its members within ICFO by organizing social events like Social Friday as well as the annual International Food Festival amongst others.
