Joliot-Curie Conference 2021

8 - 9 September 2021, United Kingdom


Introduction
The Royal Society of Chemistry is happy to announce this event will be moving online for 2021. 

Are you looking for an independent career in academic research?

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.

Funding proposal workshop

Success in an academic career depends very much on your talent and passion as a researcher. However, even the most talented and passionate individuals need funding to pursue their research and that can sometimes be very difficult to secure. We know from previous Joliot-Curie conferences that this is one area where early-career researchers could benefit from some expert help, so we are devoting most of the second day of the conference to issues around getting funded.  You’ll get the opportunity to listen to funding experts, who will speak from several different perspectives, and to ask questions.
 
Day 2 will offer delegates the opportunity to learn about writing a grant application through an interactive workshop to experience funding applications from both sides of the process using their own research ideas. The benefits of this exercise are threefold:
  • The opportunity to practise writing a funding proposal
  • Receive constructive feedback on your proposal from your peers in a safe environment
  • The opportunity to be an assessor, which will give you valuable insights into how proposals are selected.
Submissions are now closed, individuals who have submitted a proposal will be contacted with further information prior to the conference. 

Supporting inclusion and diversity

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.

Registration
Registration is now closed 

This event is aimed at post-doctoral researchers in academia who aspire to establish an independent career in research. Numbers are limited for the event so ensure to book quickly to secure your place.

The 2019 Joliot-Curie Conference achieved a 100% Good – Excellent feedback rating from delegates based on their experience. Here’s what they said:

This was above my expectation and I felt I made a number of important connections for the future. The funding workshop was a real eye opener (in a good way) and will likely have a huge impact on how I write grant applications going forward.
