UKPN will be running the UK Arctic Science Conference pre-conference session 2023 for early career researchers! This will take place before the main conference.
Demonstrating leadership and developing networks are crucial
parts of any job, academic or otherwise, but for ECR’s this 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 (EDIG and iCRAG), 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 broad subject
groups and then mix with the wider group to share your research.
The session will run from 10am to 12:30pm on the 11th September 2023 at British Antarctic Survey, Cambridge.
