STM Early Career Ideas Factory

Save the date!

Collaborate with professionals from all career stages on bridging the generational gap in publishing and creating a more diverse, equitable, inclusive, and accessible research ecosystem.

What’s this?

STM is inviting you to a live event where you can brainstorm with colleagues on a variety of topics geared towards bridging the generational gap in publishing and creating a more diverse, equitable, inclusive, and accessible research ecosystem. Hear from early career researchers, executives, and other industry professionals about their experiences and needs in publishing.

Here, cross-generational collaboration is on the menu via panel discussions, small group workshops (idea labs) and networking sessions. These formats will pave the way for us to learn from one another — and tackle questions around multi-generational needs and how to increase DEIA in STM publishing.

What to expect?

Hear directly from “digital native” early career researchers and how they find, consume, and use content — and what they want from publishers and institutions.
Find out how executives are recruiting and retaining early career talent in their organisations
Join two breakout sessions on Career Progression and Bridging the Generational Gap and Accelerating DEIA in Publishing. Attendees can explore such topics as how to build skills; identify and solution barriers to learning and career progression; create a more equitable reward & recognition system for researchers and other contributors and how to improve access to and accessibility of content, encouraging community interaction on emerging DEIA topics
Learn more about STM’s Early Career Publisher Committee and hear from mentors and mentees of the STM Mentorship Scheme talking about their experiences.
Network with publishing professionals of all career stages and celebrate the end of STM Week with a Drinks Reception!
