ADAS is the Association of doctoral students and assistants at the Faculty of Biology and Medicine (FBM) at the University of Lausanne. It was founded in July 1998 under the name Association des Doctorants et Assistants de la Faculté des Sciences. It brings together all the members of the so-called lower intermediary body and thus includes all the maîtres-assistant·e·s, first-assistant·e·s, assistant·e·s and doctoral·e·s of the FBM.
It acts as a point of contact for all questions relating to assistants and doctoral students. More concretely, it seeks to work with the faculty to resolve problems relating to working and study conditions. ADAS can also act as a first port of call when one of its members finds himself or herself in a difficult situation.
ADAS also organises events throughout the year to make life easier and more enjoyable for young researchers, and to bring the latest scientific knowledge to the general public…

LAB knows very well how to make the fête! Workshops are held every other Thursday, with bières à 1.-. We help organise the Bal de la Rentrée and the Bal de Noël. A mulled wine is organised at Christmas. In February there's a ski camp, and don't forget the biology supper! Quite a programme!
