Early Career Researchers Commitee

With a focus on nurturing the next generation of researchers in the field, the VoM 2024 Meeting Local Organising Committee have established an Early Career Researchers Committee for this year's Meeting. Comprised of PhD students and early career postdoctoral researchers, the Committee hopes to support their peers attending the Meeting with the aim of enhancing their experience via targeted resources and events. 

In addition to assisting the Local Organising Committee, the ECR Committee will be organising professional development opportunities at the Meeting for students and ECRs, including networking events, student/ECR special sessions, and a Meeting mentorship program.  This page will be updated as these are finalised so that attendees can register their interest and attendance.
