Early Career Researchers Commitee

With a focus on nurturing the next generation of researchers in the field, the VoM 2024 Meeting Local Organising Committee established an Early Career Researchers Committee. Comprised of PhD students and early career postdoctoral researchers, the Committee supported their peers attending the Meeting by enhancing their experience via targeted resources and events. 

In addition to assisting the Local Organising Committee, the ECR Committee organised professional development opportunities at the Meeting for students and ECRs, including networking events, student/ECR special sessions, and a Meeting mentorship program.
