The British Academy today grows its Early-Career Researcher (ECR) Network - a pilot programme aimed at UK-based postdoctoral researchers in the humanities and social sciences - into the South West with a new hub supported by the GW4 Alliance of universities.
The GW4 Alliance - comprising the Universities of Bristol, Bath, Cardiff and Exeter - will enable networking events and activities for ECRs in the South West together with a consortium of five other universities located in the region - Bath Spa, Bournemouth, Gloucestershire, Plymouth and UWE.
This two-year pilot programme, made possible thanks to a partnership with the Wolfson Foundation, aims to establish an inclusive, UK-wide Network for ECRs in the humanities and social sciences, providing opportunities for skills development and networking across the whole country.
