Dear UKPN members,
The 2023 UK Arctic Science Conference pre-conference session by UKPN will be on 'Leadership and Networking for ECR's'. It will run between 10am - 12:30pm on Monday 11th September 2023 at the British Antarctic Survey in Cambridge in-person and virtually. Registration for the main conference closes on the 25th August and it is free to attend.
Pre-conference session overview:
Demonstrating leadership and developing networks are crucial parts of any job, academic or otherwise, but for Early Career Researcher (ECR's) it can be especially difficult to gain access to opportunities that clearly evidence this. This session firstly will give an overview of what leadership is, why it is important for ECR's, and how to access opportunities to demonstrate leadership. The second part of this session will hear from Chloe Nunn (UKPN Co-President 22/23 and NIRAS), Dr Aileen Doran (iCRAG and EDIG), and Dr Alison Cook (SAMS) who will speak about their experiences of networking both traditional and non-traditional to understand how ECR's can develop their networks in multiple ways. Finally, there will be a mini-networking session where you will develop short pitches about your research in subject groups and then mix with the wider group to share your research.
Please sign up to the session here by the 29th August:
