6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6 From: Rebecca Fitzgerald <r.fitzgerald@xxxxxxxxxx> We are pleased to announce a new ECR addition to the IAVCEI Scientific Assembly 2023 - the Early Career Researcher Plenary Session. In addition to the typical plenary sessions, a half hour session will also be held each day to showcase excellent early-career researchers and their work. One researcher will showcase their work in each half hour session. To be considered for these spots, you must self-nominate by completing a self-nomination application form which includes a summary of the intended topic, a list of supporting lead-author papers, and a motivation statement on why you should be chosen. A short CV (max. 2 pages) including your education and employment history is also asked for. The proposed plenary topic should be broader in scope than a typical conference presentation. Eligible ECR researchers must have a PhD and be within seven years of finishing their PhD, or hold a professional job and have less than seven years of professional volcano-related research experience. This time does not include parental or other relevant leave, with seven years counted up to 2021 to include those that would have been considered an ECR had the conference gone ahead in 2021. We particularly encourage applications from historically under-represented groups. *Please note that you do not have to be attending in person to be considered.* Unsuccessful plenary applications WILL NOT be considered as abstract submissions for symposia sessions so we encourage applicants to submit an abstract for symposia sessions in addition to a plenary application. The review process will take into consideration the following points: - Significance of your research - Novelty of your proposed talk - Application and communication of your research with the wider community The review panel, made up of IAVCEI 2023 local organising committee members and an IAVCEI ECR-Net representative, will also ensure that there is a gender, topic, and nationality balance in the speakers chosen. Applications are now open and will remain open until the 2nd September.
