ECR Research on Research Seminar Series (ECR RoRSS)

We’re launching a new series of online talks by early career researchers (ECRs) on metascience / research on research topics (in their broadest senses). Each talk could be focused on completed research you want to share, work in progress you want to brainstorm with colleagues, or ideas for advancing metascience or future research you’d like to try out.

Anyone self-identifying as an ECR can present, and seminar attendance will be open to all ( we strongly encourage senior colleagues to join!). Webinars will be held on a monthly basis at lunchtimes (UK/EU) throughout the first half of 2026, with flexible timing to include ECRs from across the globe.

We see a lot of potential in this, and we hope this series becomes a vibrant, inclusive, and valuable space for knowledge-sharing and network-building for ECRs and the wider metascience community.

If you’d like to present, suggest a speaker, or stay updated on upcoming talks, please fill in this form or email us!
