This short Early Career Workshop provides an opportunity for academics early in their careers to learn about some of the key skills necessary to advance their career in academia, grow their network, and to receive advice and guidance from our panel. The format will include an opportunity for small group discussion in a relaxed environment with the panel members. Panel members include Professor Alma McCarthy (NUIG), and Professor Margaret Linehan (CIT). The goals of this Workshop are to i) foster a sense of community among the cohort of early career researchers attending the IAM, ii) deepen participants’ understandings of the elements of successful academic and professional development, including the building of a research programme, pointers for journal writing, and negotiating a balance among institutional service, academic writing, and teaching.
