RAPS 2022: The 22nd Annual RAPS Meeting will be held at Northumbria University on the 7th – 9th of September 2022 and is sponsored by Asynt.
The annual RAPS (Recent Appointees of Polymer Science) meeting is an event that aims to bring together academics in the early stages of their career (within approx. 5 years of appointment), PDRAs and industrialists. The meeting gives attendees opportunities to present their work, network, and receive practical early-career advice from a range of experienced speakers. Topics include areas such as generating funding, mitigating the career-related effects of the coronavirus pandemic, becoming independent, interacting with the media and building a lab.
This is a fabulous opportunity for early-career researchers to start building their network of collaborators.
The RAPS 2022 Programme
There will be contributed oral and poster presentations (with sponsored prizes), and the intention is to allow the majority of attendees to present their work. There will be presentations from leading industrialists, academics and publishers and various networking opportunities to establish collaborations and discuss the challenges of collaborative working and publishing.
