Early Career Researchers Conference 2015


  • The Cosener's House Abingdon Oxford, England, OX14 3JD United Kingdom (map)

The first Early Career Researchers Conference (ECRC) took place at Coseners House Abingdon in March 2015 . ECRC2015 hosted over 70 delegates with 30 speakers and 18 poster presenters across a range of disciplines and from various national and international universities and institutions. The event provided the opportunity for those at the early stages of their career to converse with similarly experienced researchers of interdisciplinary fields associated with electrochemical energy devices. The networking opportunity resulted in long lasting links and collaborations between groups and individuals. To view the schedule of events, speakers, attendees and abstracts, please download the Conference Booklet:

The ECRC2015 event was documented by the public engagement team UCell from the Electrochemical Innovation Lab at UCL, who kindly showcased their fuel cell system and provided hydrogen powered tea, coffee and mulled apple juice to conference attendees.
