Feeling part of a community is an important part of your Imperial experience. Through our events and networks, the Early Career Researcher Institute (ECRI) provides opportunity for you to network across the whole College community and we have funding available for you to organise activities with your peers and advance your research.
We also lead the development of the University-level Postgraduate Research Student Experience (PRES) Action Plan and will share with you on these pages other projects we are working on to enhance your experience.
Finally, ECRI is here to help improve your overall experience at Imperial. If you have ideas for activities, or initiatives we could introduce that will enhance your time as a member of the early career researcher community at Imperial, please let us know.
