Past event
This BERA ECR Network’s coffee hour will give you the opportunity to find out more about the ECR Network and its activities as well as get to know a little more about the team behind it.
There are opportunities ask any questions you might have had about upcoming ECR activities and to share your thoughts on all things ECR-related within BERA and beyond.
This is an opportunity for the ECR community to come together in an informal space and we look forward to meeting you all!
Just don’t forget to bring a coffee!
