Free admission
This event has a workshop dedicated to Ph.D. students (new!) as well as a workshop dedicated to researchers and clinicians in a later stage of their early career (such as postdocs and fellows up to those having a permanent position).
The capacity is limited to 55 PhD and 35 postDocs attendees.
After the successful events of the ESMAC “Early Career Network” (ECN) at the past annual ESMAC meetings, we are excited to announce our next network event in Basel.
The ECN aims to include PhD students and graduated early-stage researchers who are pursuing an academic career until securing a permanent position.
The goal of the ECN is to support, unite, and inspire early career researchers and provide a platform to foster new collaborations among the next generation.
Throughout the last years, we have organized webinars on topics that were voted to be relevant for early career researchers. In addition, we aim to involve those who are interested in the ESMAC society and conferences, for instance by being mentored while chairing a session or reviewing abstracts.
At this year’s ECN event, we will focus on interpersonal communication. We will have an interactive workshop and senior researchers sharing their experiences on working in international groups and among people with diverse backgrounds and cultures.
Afterwards, we will split into two groups to focus on the specific needs of PhD students versus Postdocs. The interactive session will be accompanied by a social gathering to help you get to know fellow ECN’sers. Moreover, this event is the ideal opportunity to reflect on past experiences and look ahead to how you can benefit from the work and activities of the ECN.
