The Early Career (ECA) Network Webinar - November 2023
The Early Career Academic Network at BAM will be organising a monthly online network session that will be held online over Zoom. In the last academic year we held a monthly online session, it is informal in nature for the early career academic community at BAM. This session will be titled 'Reenergise and Reset: Preparing for a Restful Winter Break' with an invited senior academics to talk questions and contribute to the informal conversation.
Session Theme:
Reenergise and Reset: Preparing for a Restful Winter Break
The winter break can provide a brilliant opportunity to recharge your academic batteries. However, winding down and taking a break isn’t always easy as an Early Career Researcher. In this month’s ECA Network webinar, we chat about some of the challenges that you might face when taking a break such as managing stress, dealing with guilt, and prioritising mental well-being. We are joined by special guest, Professor Claire Hannibal, who shares their own experiences, gives valuable insights, and answers your questions on how to prepare for a restful break. Register now and discuss in a friendly and informal environment how to make the most of the upcoming winter break!
