Getting to Know EERA, Making the Most of the ECER and ERC Closing Ceremony

• Friday, 03 September 15:00 - 16:30 CET (Geneva) time

All ERC participants are warmly invited to attend this Emerging Researchers’ Conference (ERC) session which will bring the ERC to a close. This informal session will be facilitated by experienced academics and the ERG co-conveners who will help you understand the EERA structure and chart your way through the ECER conference program. This is also a wonderful opportunity to connect with fellow ‘emerging’ researchers. Furthermore, the winner of the ERC Best Poster Award 2021 will be announced during the ceremony.

The following themes will be addressed within the session. The themes will be briefly introduced at the beginning of the session before participants will be split into breakout groups, for informal discussions pertaining to these themes with the experienced academics and the ERG co-convenor teams.

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 ECER and beyond. 

Converting your conference paper into a publication
Explore the unique opportunities afforded to participants after the Emerging Researchers’ Conference to maximize your publication success. We will discuss several possibilities the ERC 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.
