Theo Wubbels is emeritus professor of Educational Sciences at Utrecht University in the Netherlands. In his keynote 'How Can Young Scholars Survive and Build a Career in Academia?' he will discuss critically the criteria that govern institution’s decisions on hiring and promotion of staff and will present what young researchers can (and should?) do to build a career in academia.

Where should we draw the line? And what does the line consist of anyway? Research ethics between necessary sine qua non and welcome challenge for our creativity.

On Monday afternoon, EERA networks organise workshops introducing questions within their research fields. The workshops on Tuesday afternoon address issues typically relevant to Emerging Researchers: How to prepare a doctoral defence, how to publish, etc. Please register for these workshops on the first day of the ERC 2019, Monday 2 September 2019 starting at 8:00 at the EERA Desk.

As the ERC lunch break event was very well attended at ERC 2018, there will be two lunch break events offered at ERC 2019. You are invited to register for these events on the first day of the ERC 2019, Monday 2 September 2019 starting at 8:00 at the EERA Desk. The lunch break events are offered on a limited capacity, first-come, first-serve basis.

During ERC, the Convenors and the Senior Mentor of the ERG select the best poster presented during the interactive poster sessions. At ECER 2019, the ERC will pilot a "popular vote poster award".

The ERC event will take place Monday evening on the Rickmer Rickmers at Hamburg harbour. It is a chance to socialise with other emerging researchers as well as the mentors and organisers of ERC.
