Conferences

Awards were presented to early career researchers following talk and poster competitions at 2024's Early Career Researcher (ECR) Conference.

Our early career research community came together for an inspiring afternoon hearing about the range of research going on at Reading and the unexpected career journeys of a range of senior researchers, both in academia and industry, including Dr Fiona Marston, Royal Society Entrepreneur in Residence.
