Newcomers Research Week is organised once a year - in January - and offers early career researchers and new starters at Essex bite size sessions as introductions to the research support offered at the University of Essex. 

Newcomers Research Week has sessions that map to the research lifecycle; from ideas to grant writing to publication and sharing. Sessions are delivered by staff from Library and Cultural Services, Research and Enterprise Office, the UK Data Archive, CER, and others.

We repeat many of the essential sessions each Research Week, but we also introduce or change some sessions based on the feedback and suggestions we get from participants throughout the Newcomers Research Weeks.
