By ECRs for ECRs

The programme has been designed by Early Career Researchers to give you the most value: boost your researcher ID, improve your networking skills, attend research talks, interactive break-out sessions, training sessions, and career development opportunities.

Here's what our 2022 conference delegates thought:

By ECR for ECR

"The conference theme 'by ECR for ECR' summed it up! I enjoyed all the sessions. I want to congratulate the team for organising such a vibrant ECR conference. All the sessions were diverse and packed with variety of expertise and knowledge."

A great introduction

"Being newly introduced to the battery research world, I gained a fair amount of insights into the diverse scientific endeavours that goes on behind this field from researchers of all walks of STEM and beyond. It humbled and excited me at the same time to push myself more into carrying out cutting edge research in future."

Easy networking

"The highlight was simply being able to network with ECRs from other Faraday Institution projects. I think there is so much potential for collaboration across the projects and more/further events could leverage this."

After a PhD

"It was great to see so many keynote speakers working in different areas, academia, industry... It gives you perspective on what you can do after a PhD."
