Description

Early-career researchers (ECRs) are central to the advancement of accelerator science and technology, contributing across all areas - from R\&D, theory, and design to experiment, commissioning, and operation - at all scales, from small medical accelerators to large colliders. While accelerator projects are often high-cost, long-timescale, and resource-intensive, ECR perspectives are underrepresented in strategic planning and decision-making. Following the example of particle physics (ECFA ECR) and nuclear physics (NuFFER), the accelerator science and technology community now has its own ECR network: accelECR. Through regular seminars and community-driven events,accelECR fosters knowledge exchange, promotes inclusivity, and improves skill transferability across the field. It also serves as a collective platform through which accelerator ECRs can engage with high-level strategy and decision-making in the field. The motivation, organization, and framework of accelECR are presented in this contribution.
