Early Career Researchers are a vital component of our network. We, and the other IRCs, run interdisciplinary training and networking activities designed to help ECRs develop their careers and expand research possibilities. These complement structured research within the University's doctoral training programmes. Please find more information on these below.

Global food security is a major research priority for UK and international science.

Cambridge Global Food Security is a virtual centre at the University of Cambridge. We promote an interdisciplinary approach to addressing the challenge of ensuring all people at all times have access to sufficient, safe and nutritious food that meets their dietary needs and preferences for an active and healthy life.
