ERA provide guidance and support for people wishing to develop careers in ageing studies.
Our vibrant group of Emerging Researchers in Ageing, which includes students, postdoctoral researchers and people new to careers in ageing, meet regularly to discuss research, policy and practice and support one another in their careers.
There are normally one or two meetings a year where ERA members, as well as invited speakers from academia, present their work and discuss aspects of the research process.
Membership of ERA also gives you access to the mailing list (ERAmail) to enable you to keep up-to-date about conferences, seminars, teaching courses, and research about ageing and ageing studies .
