IAIFI Journal Club

The IAIFI Journal Club was founded in November 2020. It is open to IAIFI members and meets every other week during the academic year. It provides junior members with an opportunity to share their research, especially with other junior members, in a relatively informal setting, fostering community and cross-disciplinary interaction.
