Online workshop summary
Due to uncertainties surrounding global travel and the COVID-19 pandemic, the 2022 ECR Workshop will take place online. We aim to deliver live, asynchronous and recorded activities across a range of time zones that will allow participants to select activities that work for them including:
- Research skills workshops
- Workshops on teaching on the planetary health research agenda
- Thematic seminars for participants to present their research
- Co-creative activities for participants to grapple with planetary health challenges together
- 'Meet the expert' sessions with people from industry, policy makers and communities who use evidence to improve and protect planetary health
- Keynote talks with leading scholars
Learn more at the Planetary Health Alliance website.
Eligibility
Early career academics from all disciplines are welcome to join. You should have been awarded your PhD within the last 8 years. This definition is flexible however, so please get in touch if you have any questions, particularly if you fall outside the ECR definition, due to an atypical career path. This could include those who have started the research-intensive component of their career later or had career breaks or spent time in industry.
Candidates who can apply can include those employed full or part-time at University of Glasgow.
Application process
Please submit a statement of interest (2 sides of A4 maximum) indicating:
- How your research is relevant to the workshop themes and what contribution you can make to the workshop.
- What you hope to gain from the experience.
- How you plan to disseminate your experience of the workshop, and to whom.
Your application will be scored on all three of the areas above. Statements should be sent to Externalrelations-u21network@glasgow.ac.uk no later than 10 January 2022.
