Apply to be part of the steering committee! Joining the committee will give you the chance to help plan, and perhaps also deliver at, the Awayday.  This will involve a 2-3 hour commitment before the Awayday and attendance at the event.  The first committee meeting will take place w/c 2nd October. The closing date for applications is 12noon on Thursday 28th September. Awayday steering committee application

ECR Awaydays

We run regular Awaydays for our ECR members, covering a variety of career development topics.  The events look at specific skills, relevant to both academic and non-academic careers, and provide an opportunity for ECRs to connect with peers within CCS.  Ideas for events come directly from our UKCCSRC community and are shaped by ECRs, academics and industry. As well as our Awaydays, we work with our ECRs to provide ECR-led activities through our ECR Activity Fund and we collaborate on events with other organisations and research centres.
