11 March 2024 Opportunity for ECRs and ECOPs: The Role of Seabed Mapping in Ocean Science

As part of the Ocean Science Policy Programme, the Royal Society is co-hosting an event with the UK Centre for Seabed Mapping in Ocean Science on Monday 11th March 2024. The event will be held at the Royal Society in London. 

This event will offer 30 Early Career Researchers (ECRs) and Early Career Ocean Professionals (ECOPs) the opportunity to meet and share their research with other ocean and marine scientists and academics, UK CSM members, and policy makers from across UK Government in order to address key policy challenges related to the ocean, and to contribute to the work and mission of the UN Ocean Decade.

Of the 30 successful applicants, ten will be invited to present their research with a short 'elevator pitch' style presentation and a poster.

Application Instructions

In order to attend, please submit the application form by 15:00 on Wednesday 7th February. Early applications are welcomed.

Applications are particularly encouraged from ECOPs and ECRs whose research is in one or several of these key areas: seabed mapping, or the use of bathymetry, tides, oceanography, marine habitat mapping, and use or activity within the marine space. Applications from underrepresented groups are encouraged.

Please note: Lunch and refreshments will be provided, but regrettably the Royal Society are unable to cover travel or accommodation costs; successful candidates must cover their expenses to and from the event.
