CSIC Early-Career Academics and Professionals Panel
CSIC Early-Career Academics and Professionals Panel (ECAPP), 2025-26.
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 2025/26. We anticipate activities for this fourth ECAPP Cohort will focus on the following themes: understanding systems-thinking in the built environment; making the case for the value of smart infrastructure, achieving sustainable goals through smart solutions.
