EMERGecr Conference 2023
Summary
The next young/early career researcher conference organised
by UK charity Invest in ME Research and the European ME Research Group (EMERG) takes place on 2nd June 2023
at the Wellcome Genome Campus near Cambridge, UK,
in parallel with the 15th Invest in ME Research International ME Conference.
This will be the first in person young/ecr conference since the pandemic paused
events in 2020.
It coincides with the restart of the EMERG ecr initiative - Young EMERG - bringing together early career researchers in Europe
to collaborate on research into ME.
The intent is to continue the work that was started with
the Thinking the Future conferences
that had to be paused in 2020 due to the pandemic.
Apart from reestablishing the European network of young researchers we hope to create a broader network across the continent. which will, in turn, facilitate further international collaboration in research into ME and encourage new ideas to be formulated.
The conference will bring together young international scientists and students working on, or interested in, myalgic encephalomyelitis (and also those involved with long covid research) and will again advance research into the disease by facilitating the sharing of knowledge and collaboration between researchers from around the world.
The event presents a unique networking opportunity for early career researchers involved with research into ME, and those involved in other research areas who would like to collaborate and share knowledge, and those wishing to join the EMERG ecr network.
