AAB Early Career Professional Skills and Science Workshop
18 December 2023 - 19 December 2023
Visit Event Website
The Association of Applied Biologists has a unique cohort of early career professional members as it includes members who work across academia, NGOs and industry. This sets the AAB apart from other societies whose membership cohorts are more homogenous. Therefore we want to organise an event that was relevant for attendees across our ECP members.
We surveyed our ECP cohort and the consensus was that you would like the AAB to organise an event that mixed opportunities to present their research and to discuss skills, careers and training.
