ECR lunches

Throughout the academic year, we hold bi-monthly Early Career Research Lunches where early career researchers and all other university staff interested in the topics are welcome to join for a free lunch and discuss various career-related topics together with a peer network who are in a similar career stage.

Keep track of our upcoming ECR lunch events via the table below. Upcoming lunches are also announced via the University newsletters, our social media channels and on the screens at the faculties as well as on our website!

Description:

From 30 September to 4 October, the UG will be holding Diversity Week 2024.The purpose of Diversity Week is to raise awareness about diversity and inclusion at the UG, build student and staff skills related to diversity and inclusion, and celebrate diversity!

Facilitated by Sean Desjardins (YAG Diversity and Inclusion Working Group Chair), this ECR Lunch will serve as a forum for young researchers and teachers to share their experiences relating to diversity, inclusion and acceptance at the RUG, as well as to generate ideas and priorities for further advocacy on the topic by organizations such as ours. Potential discussion topics may include accommodation for physical disability, neurodiversity, and Queer/LGBTQ2SIA+ issues, among others.
