ECR Summer Showcase

ecr summer showcase landscape

One of the core aims of VALIDATE is to support its members in career progression.  To this end, VALIDATE hosted the ECR Summer Showcase series of seminars in June and July 2022.

In each session, VALIDATE Associates gave a 15-minute presentation about their research followed by a Q&A. This provided an excellent opportunity for the presenters to showcase their science to their fellow members worldwide.

Showcase your own work?

Do you have some exciting research you want to share with fellow VALIDATE members? Have taken part in or led a fascinating project? Why not get in touch with VALIDATE and organise your own showcase - validate@ndm.ox.ac.uk.
