European collaborative research projects support early career researchers (ECRs). These initiatives unite over 80 ECRs, benefiting both the researchers and the broader scientific community.

Area of Science:

  • Interdisciplinary research
  • European research initiatives
  • Early career development

Background:

  • Collaborative research projects are crucial for scientific advancement.
  • Early career researchers (ECRs) often face challenges in establishing independent research careers.
  • Targeted initiatives can foster collaboration and support for ECRs.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the structure of collaborative research projects for ECRs in Europe.
  • To highlight the benefits of these initiatives for participating ECRs.
  • To assess the positive influence of these projects on the wider scientific community.

Main Methods:

  • Initiation of collaborative research projects specifically for ECRs.
  • Uniting over 80 ECRs across two distinct projects.
