You are warmly invited to attend this informal lunch session which will be facilitated by experienced academics and the ERG co-conveners who will help you chart your way through the conference program and understand the structure of EERA and how you can participate in additional activities. This is also a wonderful opportunity to connect with fellow ‘emerging’ researchers.
The following themes will be addressed within the session. The themes will shortly be introduced at the beginning of the session. After this introduction you are welcome to participate in informal discussions and ask questions pertaining these themes to the experienced academics and co-convenors.
Doing Educational Research
We are pleased to announce that we will be joined by the Editors of ‘Doing Educational Research: Overcoming Challenges in Practice’. This SAGE/EERA book was developed as a result of feedback from PhD students and addresses challenges researchers have encountered in their projects. In this there are accounts of how experienced researchers handled entry into the research field, how they discussed and managed research result that posed problems when accounted back to the field, and how doing research in a second language, i.e. English, creates a complex set of challenges from interpretation to communication of your research.
Networks, Networking and Development Opportunities
Connect with experts in your field by identifying your network and attending their programs. We will discuss opportunities and strategies for building your network during the conference and beyond.
Converting your conference paper into a publication
Explore the unique opportunities afforded to participants at the Emerging Researchers’ Conference to maximize your publication success. We will discuss several possibilities the conference offers to receive feedback on your work, for example during and after your conference-presentation.
ERG co-convenors
Meet the Emerging Researchers’ Group co-conveners who will share their recent experiences as Early Career Researchers and provide helpful tips for making the most of the conference experience.
Lunch Break with Local Academics
- Tuesday, 22 August, 12:30 - 13:30
- Please note: You must register for the lunch break events. Beginning Monday at 8:00, you can register near the EERA Desk where there will be sign-up lists to which you can add your name. Please note that these lunch break events are offered on a limited capacity, first-come, first-serve basis.
The Local Organising Committee and the Convenors of the Emerging Researchers' Group are delighted to inform you about a unique opportunity as part of the social programme that will take place at lunchtime 12:30 to 13:30 on Tuesday 22 August during the Emerging Researchers' Conference 2023.
The “Lunch Break with Local Academics” promises to be an engaging opportunity for participants. About 50 emerging researchers who pre-register will have the unique chance to discuss and exchange ideas around a focused topic with local academics. This will be the perfect way for participants to share a meal and to get to know, meet, connect and network both with and their peers and local academics, sharing the latest ground-breaking insights on topics of their interest.
“Lunch Break with Local Academics” is an attractive informal opportunity for emerging researchers to socialise and to take part in the scientific community. The event is intended to give an informal opportunity in a designated location for networking, creating global connections and knowledge exchange during lunch time.
