Early Career Network
How can we collectively shape the future of research?
Welcome to the Early Career Researchers Network, a space for those seeking to connect with like-minded individuals and engage in meaningful dialogue. Our network is supported by the Sustainable Cities and Energy GRP in collaboration with Warwick's Global South Initiative, and we are dedicated to fostering a sense of belonging, collective sensemaking, transdisciplinary dialogue, and friendship among early career researchers. As we emerge from the pandemic, we recognise the importance of rebuilding in-person relationships and connections.
At the heart of our network is the belief that collective care, learning, and collaboration are essential for meaningful change in the world. We recognise that the challenges we face today require a new conversation, one that transcends disciplinary boundaries and embraces a diversity of perspectives. Our network provides a platform for early career researchers to come together, share their knowledge, and engage in collaborative efforts to make a positive impact in their fields.
Join us today and become a part of a supportive community of researchers who are dedicated to creating a better world. Together, we can build a future that is sustainable, equitable, and just for all. Please see below for a list of our upcoming events.
