Description

Early-career researchers (ECRs) are central to the advancement of accelerator-based science and technology, contributing across all areas from R&D, experiment, theory, design, commissioning, etc and operating accelerators ranging from small-scale medical accelerators to large-scale colliders. While projects are often high-cost, long-timescale, and resource-intensive, the perspectives of ECR are often underrepresented in strategic planning and organisational decision-making.

Following the example of particle (ECFA ECR) and nuclear (NuFFER) physics, the accelerator science and engineering community now has an Early Career Researcher (ECR) network: accelECR.

Through a combination of regular seminars and community-driven events, accelECR fosters intellectual exchange, promotes inclusivity and improves skill transferability by expanding ECR's general knowledge of small-scale acceleration experiments to large-scale accelerators. Its motivation, organisation and framework are presented in this contribution.
