First Meeting Napoli 2022
In 2023, a group of Young Researchers founded the Early-Career Scholars (ECS) section of the Italian University Coordination for Development Cooperation (CUCS) to amplify the voices of early-career scholars in shaping research on development cooperation.
For ECS, hereby we define a student, a PhD candidate, or a researcher who received their highest certificate (e.g. BSc, MSc or PhD) within the past seven years.
The ECS-CUCS is building bridges between research and practice aiming to:
- Foster the exchange of information on job opportunities, conference, research on development cooperation.
- Facilitate the proposition of ECS-led sessions at bi-annual CUCS conferences.
- Animate the CUCS network and create opportunities for inter-trans-multi disciplinary collaborations among researchers and other stakeholders interested in development cooperation projects.
Who are we:
The network is presently coordinated by a secretariat, which is composed of the following persons:
- Simone Bocca (University of Bozen)
- Stefano Bruzzese (University of Turin)
