It's that time again, Folks! Getting ready to present your research at an academic conference? Keen to get in a bit of practice making research presentations in a friendly and familiar environment? ECRN will be hosting a new series of Brown Bag Seminars this Autumn 2014-15.

Anyone interested presenting in a Brown Bag seminar should submit a 200 word abstract on any aspect of their research – from literature review to research design to results/findings. The abstract should be emailed to [email protected] by Friday, 26 September at 3pm. Your abstract will be sent to a friendly reviewer from a member of the UNMC academic staff for perusal. Selected presenters will then be contacted to arrange a suitable presentation slot on the ECRN Autumn calendar of events.

The angle of the paper to be presented is entirely flexible and could focus on elements of your research proposal, thesis/dissertation such as the literature review, your methodological or analytical approach, a conceptual or theoretical framework you have used or developed and/or your findings. Your paper should be delivered orally; should be 15 minutes long and may draw upon visual aids as desired (such as PowerPoint, photographs or videos).

Please do take this chance to share your research, build your public speaking skills and confidence, and network with your fellow PGRs and early career staff members!
