Regional Representatives

Regional Representatives (RRs) serve as ECN representatives who facilitate the global integration of early-career researchers into the wider scientific community.

RRs function as an extension of the Steering Committee and facilitate the flow of information between the Steering Committee and ECN members around the globe.

Below, you will find a list of our RRs. If you want to share information about events in your region or have any questions, please contact your local RR.

If you are interested in becoming an RR yourself in a region not featured below, please email the Steering Committee: This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
