Early Career Summit

Overview

The future of public and private sector-funded R&D hinges on developing a robust and diverse pipeline of talented early-career scientists, researchers, and engineers who can drive innovation and positive societal change. The objective of the Early Career Researcher Summit is to bring together a diverse group of early career researchers from across the medical, health, and science arenas to:

  1. Gain insights into the range of careers available to them 
  2. Empower them to secure and thrive in the career path they choose 
  3. Provide communication tools they can use for advocacy and other forms of civic engagement 
  4. Network with others across the R&D ecosystem

The Summit will be held over the course of five days in June to maximize opportunities for you to join our thought-provoking sessions. Throughout these events, you will have the opportunity to explore an array of career paths, network with fellow researchers and career professionals, participate in professional development workshops, and engage in meaningful discussions around issues critical to the success of the R&D ecosystem.
