Advancing Together: New Initiatives of the Early Career Committee

Connecting in the City of BridgesAt this year's ISMTE North American Conference in Pittsburgh, PA, USA, the ECC will host an exchange forum for open conversations on resilience in the face of the rapidly shifting landscape of scholarly publishing.This shift is driven by multiple factors, such as changing publishing business models, the emergence of AI, and fluctuations in the economy.These factors not only lead to actual job insecurity but also foster a pervasive sense of uncertainty among early-to-mid career professionals.Developing skills and building a supportive network are crucial for tackling these challenges.During this session, we encourage participants to share their experiences and ideas for both personal and collective strategies to thrive in this evolving environment.The ECC welcomes both early career publishing professionals and allies to join this dialogue.And that's not all for the ECC's conference offerings... we will be around to chat over a cup of coffee and a bite.So, stay tuned for more details.Let's "Rekindle, Refresh, Reconnect" together!
