Event details

We are excited to invite you to the kick-off meeting for dedicated YESI support for Early Career Researchers (ECRs). This is an opportunity to shape the future activities we can offer to ECRs working in any area related to environmental sustainability. We define ECRs broadly (including PhD researchers), so if you consider yourself early-career, or indeed if you wish to support ECRs, you are welcome!

We’d love to hear from you on what you'd like this work to focus on, and we’re looking for volunteers who are interested in co-leading any activities. 

While we do not want to duplicate any existing activities going on at the University or department level, we believe that there will be activities uniquely useful to and in the interdisciplinary environmental sustainability space, but it's up to all of us to decide what they should be. Recent feedback indicated grant-writing support might be useful, e.g. an opportunity to learn from existing PIs and senior scholars in interdisciplinary environmental sustainability, network-building, ...

Please join us for this initial discussion where we can shape the future of YESI ECR support together in a friendly setting with some refreshments. Please do share this with others who may be interested.

We look forward to seeing you there!
