Structure: 3-4 students per ECR at a table with small jar of questions to get conversation started. ECRs will give brief 1min introduction each at start (total about 6min). Groups will have about ~8min question time before rotating to next ECR

Everyone's had those 'Oh I wish I'd known this earlier' moments or just wanted to talk to someone who'd just gone through the same thing to compare experiences. Join us for a ‘speed dating’ session with early career researchers where students get to ask any question about student life and what comes after that they can think of. Learn how these researchers made it through their studies and into employment, and get advice and tips on how to make the most of the opportunities available to students. Get to talk to these researchers in a small group in an informal setting and get to ask all the questions that only someone who has just gone through it all will have insight to.
