Early Career Researchers Session (AM)
ProfPractice1-AM
This collaborative session with the RAS Early Careers Network aims to highlight the issues facing Early Career Researchers across Astronomy and Geophysics. The hybrid session will provide an overview of early career activity within the RAS with a focus on equality, diversity, and inclusion.
The hybrid session will provide a platform to connect early-career researchers as they learn to navigate academic environments and share experiences. This session will provide much-needed support to the Early Career Researchers in 'Generation COVID' given current challenges and crises.
Attendance is welcomed from all career stages.
This session will be complemented by the subsequent ECR Careers Session and ECR Networking Lunch.
