Early Career Scientist opportunity: Lightning talks

Presentations at the CAWCR workshop are by invitation only. However, we are offering early career scientists the opportunity to speak among the invited speakers. Lightning talks will be available for early career scientists to showcase their research. The talks will be 5 minutes with a maximum of 3 slides and the abstracts will be included in the workshop publication. There will be an award on the final day for the best early career researcher presentation, judged both on the delivery and content of the presentation.
Lightning talks provide a valuable opportunity to spark discussion, discover potential collaborators and receive feedback from workshop participants.

Eligibility:

All early career scientists (PhD students or within 5 years of their PhD, taking into account career interruptions) from Australian Universities, Bureau of Meteorology and CSIRO.
