Early and Mid-Career Researcher Network (EMCRN)

About

The goal of the EMCRN is to promote a collegial and supportive culture across the University in all research areas. The committee will help achieve this goal by:

  • promoting networking throughout the ECU research community
  • promoting educational events to increase skills of all researchers
  • providing a communication channel for research-active staff to voice their ideas and opinions to the University Executive

For more information see Terms of Reference. The Early and Mid-Career Researcher Network is open to all research active staff on an informal basis. All research active staff are welcome to join our events and discussions

Visit the Training Workshops and Events Calendar for upcoming researcher development opportunities and events. The 2024 EMCRN Symposium (Thursday 21 Nov) and EMCRN Coffee and Connects will also be advertised on the calendar.
