The Challenger Society’s Early Career Researcher Network is open to anyone who self identifies as an early career researcher in the marine sciences. They welcome undergraduate and graduate students, postdocs and faculty members, as well as project managers and other commercial sector associates within the marine sciences. The aims of the network are to link with fellow Early Career Researchers and share expertise, news and opportunities; to link with other networks in the UK and internationally; to benefit from the Challenger Society framework and events to foster collaboration among groups and with senior researchers; to foster and support diversity at all levels of marine science.
