Research, Networking, Early Researchers Do you want to meet other Early Career Researchers, exchange ideas about your research, and make new contacts beyond the boundaries of your own discipline?
Then become part of the Early Career Researcher Panel (ECR Panel)!
It brings together Early Career Researchers from different disciplines who deal with questions of digitality and digital methods or use digital methods in their own research. The panel offers a space to network across disciplinary boundaries, share own research and ideas, get to know new perspectives and think together about how research can be designed in the digital age. It is not only about finished research results: New project ideas, methodological questions, ongoing work and challenges in everyday research can also be discussed together here.Questions about your digital project?
