Synopsis
We would like to invite you to the 1st Annual Buddying Scheme networking day. The day will focus on discussing the buddying group, talking about its benefits of it and creating new buddying groups for the coming academic year which you can be a part of. The event is open to anyone who considers themselves an early career computer science academic. Which could be, but by no means limited to:
- Recent PhD Graduate / post doc looking for lectureship
- Someone who has left the industry to move into academia
- An academic who is new to UKHE
- A recently appointed academic working through their probation and / or seeking a permanent role
- A recently appointed (last 5 years or so) academic who would like to expand their network outside of their home institution
The event will have primarily a UK focus, however colleagues based at universities outside the UK are welcome to attend.
This is a repeat of the event on 13th July 2022.
