Networking Opportunities

At the EACR, we know that conferences are about more than just hearing the latest research. Our events are well-known for providing excellent opportunities for networking, interaction and discussion, and our virtual events are no exception.

This workshop will cover will cover all the topics that early-career researchers tell us they need, with plenty of chances to turn on your camera and mic and speak directly with the experts.
