The ÂÒÂ×Ðã British Academy London ECR Network is kicking-off the academic year with a 1-day interactive session on ‘Writing applications for difference audiences’.

ECRs will gain practical skills to apply for a job, fellowship or promotion and you will be matched with another ‘ECR buddy’ to review each other’s CV, socials and profile, and give constructive feedback.

In the afternoon, you will be able to connect and network with a panel of British Academy Fellows and senior academics in charge of promotions who will share tips and insights.
