Joliot Curie Conference 2017

5 - 6 September 2017, Bath, United Kingdom


Introduction
Shape your future academic career in chemistry research.

The Joliot-Curie Conference is the annual must-attend event dedicated to supporting the aspirations of early career researchers, particularly those who are underrepresented in academia. 

This conference explores career topics that are relevant to everyone, and encourages open discussions on issues that can promote an inclusive culture and diversity in the workplace. 

With an exciting programme of workshops, one-to-one consultations, and keynote speeches from world-renowned experts, the Joliot Curie Conference will enable you to: 
  • Find out more about academic research careers and the different ways you can access them 
  • Get information and support on issues affecting your career and progression in academic research 
  • Develop your communication skills and gain confidence when talking about and presenting your research 
  • Access support during the event through targeted group discussions and one-to-one sessions.

Who would benefit from attending? 

Post-doctoral researchers in academia who aspire to establish an independent career in research. 

The 2016 Joliot-Curie Conference achieved a 100% Good – Excellent feedback rating from delegates. Here’s what they said:

"The grant application assessment process was really useful. Great opportunity to be on the other side of the process - I learnt a lot from it. The careers talks were very interesting and honest."
2016 delegate

"Speakers were excellent. Networking sessions were a great opportunity to discuss things with early career researchers but also with more senior people to get an idea of the possible paths forward."
2016 delegate

The Royal Society of Chemistry is proactive in ensuring all our activities to advance the chemical sciences are accessible and inclusive for a diverse community. 

We initiate new activities and projects that will improve the diversity of our community at all stages of the pipeline and we bring together evidence to inform how to make such improvements.
