The conference aims at providing sufficient opportunity for insights by stakeholders and for discussions with them, while also making room for contributions by early-career researchers. This year, we do so by exploring the powerful role of ECRs as ambassadors for science and society, emphasizing their influence within academic governance and their potential to reshape dialogue between science and the public. For this reason, the conference will consist of a mix of plenary presentations and panel discussions, short talks, and workshops.
The conference programme will be available soon.
