Greenwich Research & Innovation collaborates with the existing faculty early career networks to provide university-wide events that run in addition to the existing faculty network events. This fosters a sense of belonging and community across all faculties and encourages interdisciplinary understanding and collaboration.
The Greenwich Early Career Academic Network is for all academics in the Early Career stage, not just Early Career Researchers.
Faculty Networks
Ensure you are connected by joining your faculty network. This is where news and events are disseminated. Faculty network leads meet monthly with GRI to coordinate the activities that can be shared across the wider university. Invitations and information will always come via your Faculty network.

The British Academy
The University of Greenwich is proud to be one of the four delivery partners of the London Cluster of The British Academy Early Career Research Network. The network is an inclusive membership body for all UK-based early career researchers (ECRs) working in the humanities and social sciences.
As a delivery partner, Greenwich participates in decision-making and reporting for the cluster and provides key headline events each year. In 2024-25 the cluster and the Greenwich team chose to provide three linked events on the theme of the funding landscape; Interdisciplinary Sandpit, Navigating the Funding Landscape, and Grant Writing Retreat. Each event was relevant to the next in terms of progression, providing those who attended all three with a journey from idea to funding application. In addition, each event could also be a standalone session for those who wanted to focus on just one topic.
We received great feedback for the series, and the cluster meeting was keen for the series to be repeated. Work is underway to book this series in again. Watch out for the event news on the portal.
The British Academy Early Career Researcher Network is an engaging Network which creates a dynamic, evolving and supportive community that maximises career development to enrich the long-term employability of SHAPE ECRs. We are working with our partners to develop an empowering and responsive nationwide Network: by ECRs, for ECRs which forges wider academic connections to the British Academy & the broader SHAPE community. The Network will ensure that equity, diversity and inclusion is at the forefront of everything we do.
