EPSRC Future Communications ECF Expression of Interest Form

Overview

EPSRC is seeking applications from early career researchers (ECR’s) to join our Early Career Forum (ECF) for the Future Communication Systems Theme. The ECF will act as an informal advisory stream to EPSRC. Members will be advocates for EPSRC within the community and provide a broad perspective on the needs and views of the Future Communication Systems community, offering opinion across the breadth of the Theme’s remit.

The Future Communication Systems Theme considers it important that the Forum shapes its own agenda and activities, suggesting items of discussion and providing relevant insight and feedback to EPSRC from the community they represent.

We are looking to recruit between 25-30 new members in this exercise, and we welcome applications from candidates from a diverse range of backgrounds with appropriate representation across the Future Communication Systems landscape.

This is not a call for a direct funding opportunity, but rather an application to become a member of the Future Communication Systems Early Career Research Forum.

EPSRC will not cover Travel and Subsistence costs associated with attending forum meetings.
