VALIDATE ECR Summer Showcase Seminare - Session 2
Last week we held our Second ECR Summer Showcase. Assistant Professor Nargis Khan from the University of Calgary, Canada, Dr Laura Sibley from the UK Health Security Agency, United Kingdom and Dr Cristian Segura-Cerda from CIATEJ, Mexico (who also acted as chair), gave short talks and took questions from fellow VALIDATE members. 31 VALIDATE Members attended from 25 countries.
We will hold similar ECR Focused events in the future. If you have research you want to present, let VALIDATE know.
