Join the SARA team!

SARA is an ÉTS community that helps hundreds of students each year write, publish and communicate their research. The involvement of more than 50 students and researchers is how   SARA has had such a great impact on the ÉTS community at large. Imagine if SARA was even bigger? We are always looking for motivated students or researchers who want to get involved with SARA. All SARA members gain valuable scientific communication experience and develop their research skills, regardless of their role or type of involvement.

How to get involved?

Become an Ambassador

Help us spread the word about SARA at ÉTS or in your lab. Create a supportive atmosphere among your colleagues when it comes to scientific communication. Become a SARA Ambassador and our team will help you achieve this goal!

Become a Mentor

Help other students in scientific writing using your own experience and expertise. Organize activities at SARA as a mentor to interact with and advise other students while honing your own scientific communication skills.

Become a Reviewer

Review texts for the peer review service which allows you to develop your skills in evaluating (and thus writing) articles, with feedback on your reviews from other SARA members.

Become a Contributor

Develop content for guides or workshops for SARA. We will add the content to our website while giving you the credit.
