LxAddictions24: Early career researchers

In this episode, Dr Rob Calder talks to Dominique Lopez and early-career researchers Dr Jorge Martins and Olivia Price about the ECR track at Lisbon Addictions. Rob, Dominique, Jorge and Olivia discuss how you can make the most of the ECR programme’s networking opportunities and activities before, during and after the conference. During the conference there will be a number of sessions designed to meet the needs of ECRs along with an award for best e-poster.

Dominique, Jorge, and Olivia then give some advice for ECRs going to Lisbon Addictions for the first time this year.

“Something that's really helped me at conferences in the past is going to an event before the conference...because it's just a smaller setting and I find that's just an easier setting to introduce yourself to someone you don't know.”

Olivia Price

"Try to set up a meeting during the conference, my experience is that people are quite open to those meetings and I think that's a fantastic opportunity to expand your network and also talk about research."

Dominique Lopez is a consultant for Lisbon Addictions who has been working on the early career researcher programme.

Jorge Martins is a post-doctoral researcher from the William James Center for Research and the Institute of Applied Psychology (ISPA) in Portugal.

Olivia Price is a PhD student at the University of New South Wales.

Rob Calder is Head of Communications and Operations for the Society for the Study of Addiction
