This time it's personal
We are delighted to announce that we are busy organising the first Faraday Institution Early Career Researcher Conference, and this time it’s personal, as in it will quite literally be in-person.
The Faraday Institution Early Career Researcher Committee is leading on the planning and execution of this pilot event, dedicated specifically to early career researchers working on Faraday Institution projects – whether directly funded by or affiliated with the organisation.
A number of senior Faraday Institution researchers from each project will also be invited to attend.
This year’s ECR conference will be held at Slate Conference Centre at the University of Warwick.
What to expect
Research talks
Interactive break-out sessions
Insight from researchers working in industry
Training sessions
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.
