LET'S MEET UP TOGETHER
The ECR committee is delighted to announce that we are busy organising the first Faraday Institution Early Career Researcher Conference and Training Event, and this time it’s personal, as in it will quite literally be in-person.
SAVE THE DATE
The first Faraday Institution Early Career Research Conference and Training Event will be held on Monday 31st October and Tuesday 1st November 2022. Held at the Slate Conference Centre at the University of Warwick, we expect over 250 ECRs to attend.
BY ECRs FOR ECRs
The programme has been designed by ECRs 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.
Conference programme
Our first invited keynote speaker, Paul Shearing from UCL, with a focus on the importance of collaboration in science.
A talk from Robert Weatherup of the University of Oxford, giving an overview of the facilities available to ECRs through the Royce Institute and how to access them.
ECRs will give 15 minute overviews of their research with the Faraday Insitution, followed by an interactive discussion panel with the audience.
Six different training and development courses are offered across the six breakout rooms. You will be able to choose your preference at registration. More information about the workshops is available through the accompanying page.
A talk from our third invited keynote speaker, Serena Cussen from the University of Sheffield, with a particular focus on the journey through her science career so far.
Our fourth invited keynote speaker, Serena Gallanti of Jaguar Land Rover, giving you insights into industrial research.
Split across six breakout rooms, an opportunity for our ECRs to communicate their research to their colleagues.
ECRs will be invited to ask questions to our career development panel.
Poster Presenters
In addition, any UK-based researcher identifying as an early career researcher (ECR) and working in the field of energy storage (whether as part of a Faraday Institution project, or not) has the chance to present a poster at the conference, the full list of posters is available here.
