We are very happy to announce our First ECR Workshop on Career Development and Science.
The meeting will take place at University College London, hosted by Tom Penfold and the UCL local team.
The aim of this meeting is to help train and develop our early career researchers.

Additionally, we have an excellent range of scientific talks from leading academics at various stages of their careers.
