CLOSER 2024 ECR conference and training event

Are you an early career researcher using longitudinal population study data in your work?

This September, CLOSER will run a one-day conference and training event dedicated to you.

Join us on Wednesday 18 September for our first-ever Early Career Researcher Conference and Training Event, Bridging Research and Policy: Unleashing the potential of longitudinal research for societal impact.

This bespoke event will provide a range of practical training workshops to allow you to develop the knowledge and practical skills needed to navigate life as an early career researcher.

Workshops will focus on creating infographics, engaging with policymakers, writing funding proposals, and understanding metadata and data management. Please see our website for details about the individual sessions.

The event will also celebrate the work of early career researchers with afternoon sessions showcasing research from the next generation of longitudinal researchers that has the potential to inform and shape public policy.

Parallel sessions will focus on research themes relevant to policy areas within the social sciences and biomedical sciences, including child development, mental health, trauma and adversity, health inequalities, socioeconomic inequalities, and the labour market.

Delegates will have plenty of time throughout the day to network with fellow early career researchers, as well as funders, policy experts and longitudinal population study colleagues.

Please note this event is in person only and will be free to attend.

The conference is free to attend but all delegates must register via the 'reserve' button above.

Registration will close on Wednesday 11 September 2024.
