The Early Career Microbiologists’ (ECM) Forum will host its flagship Summer Conference (#ECMConf20) dedicated to showcasing early career research, career development and networking. The conference will provide undergraduate, masters and PhD students with a peer-led conference experience designed to offer an introductory experience to scientific conferences and professional development opportunities.
Alongside scientific research presented by early career researchers, delegates will experience professional development sessions focused on exploring the next steps in your career and building confidence.
