Do you want to meet with fellow BU ECRs in an informal setting to discuss the highs and lows of being a Early Career Researcher?
Then … come and join the BU Early Career Researcher Network!
We meet monthly and have a programme of topics for the year. The next meeting is on Wednesday, 13th March, where we will be discussing how to find research funding
The network is open to those BU academics who define themselves as ECRs and includes PTHP. The Brightspace group is also open to others across BU who wish to support our ECRs.
If you would like to come to this event, or find out about future events by signing up to the ECRN community on Brightspace, just let us know.
