The ZERO Institute, in partnership with the Oxford Energy Network, has created an Early Career Researcher (ECR) Network to support early career energy researchers in Oxford. The network features enrichment, networking, policymaking, industrial engagement and outreach with bi-weekly meetings.
Pillar one focuses on Oxford networking and the Oxford seminar series; pillar two provides a platform for a seminar series, with external speakers and ECR short talks and posters. The central activities focus on enrichment for early-career researchers, such as training, development of research ideas, proposal mentoring and excursions. The final two pillars support engagement with industry and with policymakers, network to build and enable closer collaboration between policy, industry, and research.
