Activities for Early Career Scientists
Early Career Scientists (ECS) are IAS members who are students or scientists who received his or her highest degree within the past seven years, with additional time allowed for those whose work record has been interrupted by childbirth, family care, serious health issues, etc. We provide a venue for ECS to interact and network among themselves.
Virtual Poster Competition
IAS is sponsoring virtual poster competition for the best posters by students and early career scientists. Five winners in each group will be awarded their choice of an IAS special publication (not to mention something great for your CV!). Participants must indicate during online meeting registration if they wish to take part in the competition. Submit your poster today!
Virtual ECS corner
We invite students, postdocs and early career scientists to sign-up for brief, informal pop-up talks in the virtual Early Career Scientist (ECS) corner. The goal of pop-up talks is to facilitate sharing your ideas in short, five-minute presentations prepared in advance (TED-style talks) in front of respectful and friendly audience. If you plan to present virtual poster during the IAS Meeting, there you will have also a great opportunity to introduce it and invite participants for further discussion. The topic is free – tell us about various aspects of your research, student/postdoc life, or experiences in a field work. Share it with us! The presentation style is completely up to you – slides presentation, single picture display, short video or anything that you think will captivate the audience. More information about ECS Corner registration will follow soon.
