CSIC appointed an ‘Early-Career Academics and Professionals Panel’ (ECAPP) in June 2022 through a competitive application process. The purposes of ECAPP are:
- To increase the diversity of views that are considered in CSIC’s strategic decision making.
- To strengthen connections between CSIC, its industry partners, and its broader academic network. In particular, to encourage the development of these connections between individuals at an increased range of seniorities.
- To provide a career development opportunity for early-career academics and professionals, through which they can meet like-minded individuals and work together to deliver a programme of activity, jointly agreed between the panel and CSIC.
The following people have been appointed to the panel for the 2022/2023 year.
