Our Early Career Researchers (ECRs) are dedicated to fostering a dynamic research community within our institute. They organise regular meetings and initiatives, including the ECR IoO Lates, where ECRs have the opportunity to practise their presentation skills in a supportive and informal environment.
The highlight of the year is the ECR symposium, an annual full-day celebration of the research contributions made by students, technicians, and PhD candidates at the institute. This is usually held in June. Please check this page again in a few weeks to find the date of the next event.
