Announcing the next in our series of Early Career Researcher Networking Workshops

20200924-wunsunriseimage

WUN, in collaboration with the UNESCO Education Sector and UNSDSN, is holding a series of free virtual networking workshops for early career researchers (ECRs) under the theme of ‘developing the next generation of research leaders for sustainable development’. The workshops will bring together early career researchers from all around the world interested in establishing connections to colleagues in their field.

Each networking workshop will focus on a particular SDG. They will last for 90 minutes and will be launched by distinguished speakers who will provide an overview of the major research opportunities and challenges in the broad topic domain. Following the introductory speakers and a brief Q&A session, participants will break up into virtual meeting rooms, which will be set up according to specific research interests within the session’s particular SDG theme so that they can develop their international networks and collaborations.

Although these networking workshops aim to benefit WUN early career researchers,  middle and senior career researchers are also welcome to further enhance networking opportunities for the ECRs. A WUN member university email address will be required for registration.

Opportunities for upcoming networking events will also be announced on Twitter: follow us at @WUNetwork and join the conversation using the hashtag #WUNECR
