Mission Statement

Research in CAA is expanding and evolving – and some of the most exciting work is being carried out by early career researchers (ECRs) at institutions around the world. The International CAA Association ECR Network aims to give a voice to CAA ECRs, and to bring junior researchers together to share ideas, opportunities, and perspectives in order to facilitate international clinical and experimental research collaboration in CAA.

The ECR Network is for anyone working in the CAA field, from undergraduate to post-doctoral to assistant professor levels, and with interests in clinical and experimental (laboratory) research. We hope to take advantage of the friendly and close-knit international CAA community so that ECRs can easily develop their professional network, and have access to the broad range of skills and experience that the CAA community affords, to enable problem-solving and collaboration.

We are a new and growing team – so if you would like to be involved, please get in touch, we would love to hear from you!
