Refreshments will be provided.

The Network for Early Career Essex Researchers – NEwComERs is aiming to create a forum that brings together researchers interested in the different aspects of the research lifecycle and aims to stimulate collaboration and opportunities for shared learning and interdisciplinary work. To provide a framework for the NEwComERs network we are running a one week training programme twice a year consisting of training sessions covering services available at the University supporting researchers along the research lifecycle.
