Emerging Researchers Network (ERN)
A quarterly network offering expert-led presentations, Q&A and peer support for emerging psychotherapy researchers to develop skills, share work and gain CPD credit.
Held quarterly on Wednesday lunchtimes | Online
UKCP invites all postgraduate and early-career researchers to join the Emerging Researchers Network (ERN).
ERN meetings will be held quarterly on Wednesday afternoons. At each meeting, there will be a presentation given by an expert in the field and a Q&A session, followed by an opportunity for emerging researchers to give an overview of their own work in small groups. Individuals can discuss any challenges or barriers they’re facing in a current project with the expert and wider network and come away with specific tips, advice and guidance.
Each presentation will cover a practical research skill. After each event, you will receive a certificate of attendance which you can submit for consideration towards your CPD hours. Upcoming sessions include:
| Planning and designing your research project |
| Research skill | November 2026 |
| The data collection process |
| Research skill | February 2027 |
| Research conference top tips |
| Research skill | April 2027 |
Please note that these topics are subject to change due to speaker availability.
This network is open to all. A small fee applies to non-UKCP members.
