IAIFI Forums and Committees

IAIFI is establishing forums and committees that include a mix of faculty, postdocs, and students to plan and coordinate primary IAIFI activities. Current IAIFI Forums and Committees and their details are listed below. If you are interested in joining any of the groups below, email iaifi@mit.edu.

Forums

The Forums entail monthly standing meetings, organized around IAIFI’s three pillars of Research, Talent, and Community. IAIFI members can volunteer to be on the board of a forum; the forums are also open to any and all IAIFI members to attend.
