EARLY CAREER RESEARCHERS

ECR Activities

Since its inception in 2015, the HUPO Early Career Researcher (ECR) Committee has become an integral part of the HUPO and wider proteomics community. Our primary mission is to create a supportive and collaborative environment that empowers ECRs to navigate the challenges of academia and accelerate their professional growth.

With over 30 members from across the globe, we achieve this by fostering international collaboration, advancing the education of ECRs in proteomics, and ensuring that they have a powerful voice within the HUPO community.

Year-Round ECR Activities:

Online Panel Discussions

The HUPO ECR Committee hosts year-round online panel discussions designed to empower early career researchers in the proteomics community. These sessions revolve around the essential themes of Career Development, Mentorship, and Support, tackling practical topics crucial for professional growth, such as “The Mystery of Grant Writing” and “Getting Recognized for Your Work.”

To stay updated on our upcoming discussions, follow HUPO on social media and subscribe to the HUPOST.

In-Person Networking Events

Networking and making connections is at the heart of the HUPO ECR’s goal. Most recently, the HUPO ECR collaborated with their long-term sponsors Mass Dynamics to host “Connect: Boston”, an in-person event for ECRs and key opinion leaders (KOLs) to allow ECRs to discuss and share their outlook on all things proteomics. If you’re interested in organising an in-person networking event with the HUPO ECR please contact Livia Rosa-Fernandes (Co-Chair) and Charlotte Hutchings (Co-Chair).

ECR Activities at the Annual HUPO Congress

ECR Mentoring Sessions

Each year the HUPO ECR organizes a series of three mentoring sessions to take place at the HUPO Congress. The sessions aim to provide an open forum and informal space for discussion of non-science topics such as “From PhD to Profession: Navigating Diverse Career Opportunities”, “Maximizing Your Research Impact: A Strategic Publication Plan”, and “Interdisciplinary Science: Communicating and Collaborating Across Fields”. Make sure to join the HUPO ECR for these popular sessions at the next HUPO Congress.

ECR Competitions

Another key contribution of the HUPO ECR to the HUPO Congress is the coordination of four ECR Competitions - the HUPO ECR Manuscript Competition, HUPO ECR Poster Competition, HUPO ECR 3-Minute Thesis Competition, and HUPO Rising Star Award. These competitions aim to give a spotlight to the impressive work being carried out by ECRs in the proteomics field.

The ECR Networking Night is a highlight of the HUPO World Congress, uniting early career researchers from around the world in a relaxed and engaging atmosphere. This popular event offers an ideal opportunity to expand professional networks, share ideas, and connect with peers, senior scientists, and industry leaders. Designed to foster collaboration and community beyond the scientific sessions, the evening encourages informal conversations that often spark new partnerships and opportunities. With its inclusive spirit and lively setting, the ECR Networking Night has become a must-attend event for those looking to grow professionally and personally within the global proteomics community.
