The Early Career Researcher Network
The Early Career Researcher Network (ECRN) within SHIFT2HEALTH invites all interested researchers who aim to enhance their scientific careers within the project to become part of it. Our objectives within the ECRN are to stay connected, engage in discussions about our research topics and expand our knowledge through presentations and workshops, tailored to the needs and preferences of our members. Additionally, we aim to facilitate collaboration and interaction among early career researchers, including those from different project partners in various countries, through our close exchange. Our overarching goal is to immerse ourselves in science and research, thus qualifying ourselves further for future work as researchers. To this end, we will establish a network, acquire new knowledge about research methods from different disciplines, foster interdisciplinary exchanges and enjoy our journey together.
