British Academy Early Career Researcher Network

The Faculty of Arts and Humanities and the Faculty of Social Sciences at UEA are delivery partners of the British Academy Early Career Network (ECRN) East of England Cluster Consortium, alongside the University of Cambridge and Anglia Ruskin University.

The Early Career Researcher Network is an inclusive, researcher-led membership body accessible to all UK-based early career researchers (ECRs) working in the humanities and social sciences – regardless of their funding source or background.

Since its inception, the ECRN has grown from a single regional ‘cluster’ in the Midlands with 500 members to 9,000 members in nine regions across the four UK devolved nations.

The ECRN offers support to its members through:

• Funding opportunities

• Events, workshops and training

• Leadership development programmes

• Regional and national networking opportunities with ECRs and distinguished and experienced researchers, innovators, and leading figures from academia and beyond.
