We hope you are well. ECRs kickstarted the new year with the third virtual coffee morning on 9th February, where we gathered on zoom, shared our work and ideas and got to meet others in similar positions. The virtual coffee mornings are a great opportunity for ECRs to network, look out for the next one which we will announce soon. Make sure to sign up to the ECRs mailing list to receive all the updates.
Coming on the 16th March, join us for an online mentoring session focused on publications with Dr Raimundo Soto from the Middle East Development Journal and Daniel Mather from Elgar publishing. If you are looking to publish but wonder where to start, join us and ask your questions. For more details and how to register: click here.
We also seek to support ECRs in disseminating their research through an upcoming series of podcasts. The short podcasts will enable ECRs to share their ideas on social policy in the MENA region. If you are an ECR and interested in presenting your work contact Alabbasnoor@gmail.com and tamara.kool@maastrichtuniversity.nl. To listen to the past podcasts please follow the MENASP podcast series webpage.
Finally, we are very happy to announce that Dr Samar Abdelmageed and Achref Chibani will be joining us shortly as the new ECR representatives and take over from Noor and Tamara as of this Summer. We will introduce them soon!
Best wishes,
Tamara and Noor
