| Introducing 'Rising Stars' |
|
|
https://spritehub.org/introducing-rising-stars/
We
invite ECRs who are SPRITE+ Members or Expert Fellows to share their
research story with the TIPS community as part of our Rising Stars
series.
We will publish a different Rising Star each month in our
newsletter, place the same content on a dedicated SPRITE+ webpage that
is publicly accessible and share on our social media. This is a great
opportunity for ECRs to showcase their research to a range of audiences
from senior academics to stakeholder groups. This may be the start of a
new collaboration or the seed to a future post, so we encourage ECRs to
put any modesty aside and share their achievements.
