Early Career Researchers

This page gathers information for members of the Early Career Researchers Network (ECR Network), from both the Bolin Centre for Climate Research and the Early Career Researchers Council (ECR Council)


The ECR Network consist of PhD students, postdocs and researchers that are affiliated with the Bolin Centre and are in the early stages of their careers. The network serves as a platform for more frequent exchange between ECRs in the various departments and institutions that make up the Bolin Centre. 

The ECR Council leads and coordinates the activities of the ECR Network. The council initiates and manages small projects, workshops, and events that align with the goals of the network. It collaborates with the Research Themes (RT) to ensure ECRs are integrated into core research activities, with ECR representatives from each RT.

This course introduces PhD students to the principles and practical tools of open and reproducible science. Students learn how to prepare, document, share, and review data and analysis workflows in line with FAIR principles, using platforms such as GitHub and open data repositories.

Target group: Course for PhD students in the Earth and Environmental Sciences having data that are suitable for open access repositories.

Course credit: 7.5 HP.

Course registration: now open (until 30 March 2026, see link below)
