Launch Event

28th April 2021, 6pm

Early career researcher focus group- 28 April 2021

An online launch event was held for invited participants on 24th February 2021. This was attended by over 140 representatives of stakeholders across the country. 

A range of talks were followed by some lively discussions in breakout rooms which considered the priorities we need to consider in order to develop ClinEdR.

We will be producing a report summarising the conclusions of these discussions, but key messages identified the value of the Incubator in identifying and developing an ambitious community of ClinEdR researchers, and the need to consider all aspects of the system – undergraduate and postgraduate training, funding opportunities and panels, the perceptions of Higher Education Institutions of ClinEdR, and more – in order to achieve the recognition and parity of esteem we aim for.
