Are you a UK-based ECR* working in Environmental Biotechnology? Join us in 2024 for ECR24.
Last year we attracted over 90 people to Edinburgh with an array of interesting talks, top plenary speakers and prizes for the best contributors. This year this entirely FREE* conference will feature a site visit, workshops, a drinks reception, dinner, and two full days of fascinating presentations from ECRs working in the latest hot topics from across the country. We support attendance with a generous accommodation & travel bursary.
Contextualise your research, meet useful people and practice your communication skills with us. We cover all aspects of EB so you can be sure to see something new from our cross-disciplinary community of researchers and practitioners. No results to share yet? Our poster session is ideal for new PhD students to showcase their proposed research. Join us and look forward to network with peers from across the UK in 2024. Do you have new colleagues who need to network? We love to meet more people working in EB. Share the details with this Flyer.
