On the 01 October 2024, the Graduate School and the Postdoc and Fellows Development Centre became the Early Career Researcher Institute (ECRI).  ECRI is a centralised hub for early career researchers and those who support them. 

Take a look at the interim ECRI homepage to find out more about ECRI whilst we work to develop a new website which will launch in 2025.

If this is the first time you are visiting our website, use the menu content to find out more about our provision and how to book.  If you are returning to our website, please be reassured that you will find all the usual content you are expecting to see, and you can access our provision in the usual way.

We ask you to bear with us as we work to update all our digital and written resources with our new name.

If you have any questions at all, please contact ecri@imperial.ac.uk
