Like other Networks the Emerging Researchers' Group is led by a Link Convenor who is supported by a team of Co-Convenors, but the Emerging Researchers' Group also has additional support from a Senior Mentor, a nominated person at the EERA Council.
Another vital source of support are the Senior Fellows, who participate in reviewing, act as session chairs and generally help to develop the Emerging Researchers' Group. Senior fellows are highly experienced and successful academic professionals who have actively supported the Emerging Researchers' Group for a number of years.
