The GFS Fika Group is a fun way to meet people interested in food security, and is loosely based on 'Fika', the Swedish culture of regularly meeting and having conversation over coffee and cake.
Please contact Francesca if you would like to join the Fika Group. Then, on the second Friday of each month during University Terms, you will receive an email that randomly pairs you with another member of the Group. It is then up to the two of you to arrange a time to meet, for about 20 minutes, during the course of that month. These conversations are meant to revolve around introductions, and professional experiences or interests, so make the best use of the time. These meetings can be in-person or on-line (with coffee and cake or whatever else you prefer).
You will be paired with a different person each month, and you can join or leave the group at any point by emailing Francesca, preferably a few days before the pairings take place on the second Friday of the month. Happy Fika!
Please note that this opportunity is restricted to staff and students from any university or research institution. We will only accept submissions where institutional emails are used. With your request to join the Group, please send a fun/humorous two-sentence description of yourself as well.
