Early Career Researchers (ECR)

Who is an Early Career Researcher (ECR)?

Early Career Researchers (ECRs) are those who are towards the beginning of their research careers. You might consider yourself to be an ECR if you are an undergraduate or postgraduate student, if you are studying for a PhD or have recently completed (within five years of working full-time or part-time equivalent from your highest degree), or similarly if you are new to this research field or returning to research after an alternative career.
