Following the launch of the Early Career Researcher Network in September, the academic leads has been busy finalising the schedule for the coming year.
If you are already registered on the ECR Network community on Brightspace, you can access the calendar and sign up for each monthly meeting, using the link given in the calendar entries. Forthcoming events include career planning, deadline with academic rejections, who can assist with research methods queries, mentoring support and, of course, the opportunity to share your research experiences with your peers.
Within the community, there are discussion boards and surveys, where you can participate between the monthly meetings.
If you do not yet have access to this community and you are an ECR (including PTHP) or wish to support ECRs at BU, then contact us and we will add you to the ECR Network’s Brightspace community
