- Reposted by Alex HibbertsI've been talking about this network a lot recently! If you're a UK ECR (you have your PhD in hand), sign up for it! You don't need an affiliation. You get access to their brilliant events (they fund your travel so you can attend), offer biannual conference funding, + access to larger funding opps.
