Join Us for Culture, Community & Cake: Launching BU’s Early Career Researcher Network
Kick off the new academic year by connecting with your research community. As part of BU’s Research Culture, Community and Cake (3C) initiative, we are excited to host a special ECR Network Café.
Whether you are brand new to BU, or looking to expand your existing circle, this session offers a relaxed space to meet fellow early career researchers, exchange ideas, and find common ground. Alongside coffee and cake, we will also be officially launching BU’s new ECR Development Programme, designed specifically to help you build the skills, networks, and support systems needed to thrive in your research journey.
