We will provide a central hub for ECRs to engage as a community, enabling ECRs to connect and develop existing and new cross-disciplinary links both within and beyond STEMB, empowering ECRs to raise their impact globally.

List

We will achieve this by:
  • Delivering a range of cross-disciplinary, institutional level ECR community events and supporting ECR-led events and activities.
  • Developing partnerships with the Schools of Convergence to create new opportunities for ECRs to establish cross-disciplinary connections and links with industry.
  • Securing dedicated space, initially at the South Kensington Campus and in time at the White City Campus, in which to create a physical hub for ECRI’s facilitated learning and development and specialist ECR The hub will also include exhibition space to showcase the work of ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ’s ECRs, be a focal point for ECR connection and will add to the appeal of ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ as a destination for incoming ECRs and for philanthropic purposes.
  • Securing an increase in seed funding managed by ECRI to support collaborative research.
  • Supporting the development of ECR community networks.
  • Equipping ECRs with the knowledge, skills, resources and opportunities to maximise their own impact.
  • Working with Departments to equitably raise the profile of ECRs and then partnering with ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ’s institutional events team and ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ Global to raise the global profile of these individuals.

We aim to strengthen ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ’s voice in national and international conversations on best practice for ECR support, leading to ECRI’s increased impact and capacity to empower ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ’s ECRs.

List

We will achieve this by:
  • Hosting and attending sector delegations, engaging with conferences, and sharing our practices to strengthen ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ’s voice in national and international conversations on ECR best practice support.
  • Developing an effective internal and external communications strategy in which to raise our profile globally.
  • Establishing the “ECRI Academy” to commercialise our learning and development opportunities, generate income to re-invest in our provision for ECRs and raise our profile as a sector leader for the provision of ECR development.
