ECR Day
Sunday, June 15th from 8:30 - 3:00 PM at the University of Queensland St Lucia Campus
On June 15th, SCB Oceania, University of Tasmania, and Future Science Talks are teaming up to host ECR Day. This day is designed to cater to the training and network days of young and emerging researchers from current students through to those new to their research career
A recent survey conducted by the SCB Social Science Working Group of early and mid career researchers (EMCR) in the conservation science and related fields identified that emerging skills needs in this field focus on soft skills, while other more targeted hard skill needs are typically covered through more traditional training spaces such as through postgraduate degree programs. This full day event brings ECR attendees tailored training targeted to these needs.
Attendees can expect a fun start to the day with Future Science Talks learning about body language and effective communication followed by choices for different short courses including:
- How to be a good mentee/mentor
- How to present your best speed presentation
- Crafting your elevator pitch
- Communicating to public audiences
