Join Us for the 2nd European Researchers in the UK Event!
After the tremendous success of the 1st event at Coventry University in May 2024, we’re excited to announce that CONNECTS-UK is hosting the 2nd edition at the prestigious Corpus Christi College, University of Cambridge, on 31 March 2025.
This event offers a unique opportunity for researchers across all disciplines to engage with peers, exchange insights, and build meaningful professional connections. Attendees will hear inspiring talks from researchers at different career stages and take part in discussions on a wide range of topics.
Given the limited space at Corpus Christi College, seats will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. For UK-based attendees traveling from outside Cambridge, we are happy to contribute up to £80 per person towards the cost of 2nd class train or bus tickets. Selected speakers traveling from outside Cambridge are eligible for full reimbursement of travel and accommodation costs. To receive reimbursement, participants must confirm their attendance and submit a copy of their travel receipt. Only standard tickets will be accepted.
