Festival of Early Stage Researchers (FESR)
The Festival of Early Stage Researchers (FESR) is our way to say thank you to the largest community of researchers in the UK. It is an annual week-long festivities, recognising and celebrating the invaluable contribution from UCL’s early-stage research community.
The Festival of Early-Stage Researchers is back! The week long festivities will celebrate the invaluable contribution UCL’s early-stage research community has made to research and innovation. This year’s theme will be: connecting researchers, wellbeing and communicating research. We hope you can join us at the Festival from Monday 31st January to Friday 4th February 2022.
"The Festival is a really valuable opportunity to celebrate and support early career researchers, who bring such innovation, creativity and energy to our research ecosystem. Collaboration is fundamental to research and this is a wonderful opportunity to make connections, share experiences and develop new ideas and approaches with your peers." - The President and Provost, Dr Michael Spence AC
We’ll be live tweeting event highlights throughout the week so make sure you're following the Researcher Experience Twitter page @UCL_ODResearch. This is a festival about you and your experience at UCL so do get involved by using the hashtags #FESR2022 and #UCLFESR2022.
