Early Career Development Network

The Irish Academy of Management (IAM) Early Career Development Network (ECDN) aims to provide IAM members, most especially PhD candidates, post-doctoral researchers and early career academics with a range of professional and career development activities across the key strands of academic roles which ECDN refers to as FASTIR (Funding, Academic Service, Teaching, Impact, Research). It hosts a number of events and workshops throughout the year to support members in achieving FASTIR academic careers. It engages with IAM members and external contributors as relevant. The objectives of the ECDN are to:

  1. Encourage collaborative debate and learning on early academic career research, teaching, learning and professional development.
  2. Attract and build a community of scholars and practitioners interested in independent research, teaching & professional development practices.
  3. Establish a forum for discussion and debate on academic careers in an Irish and international context.
  4. Build the capacity, skills and networks of IAM members, particularly early career academics.
  5. Encourage the sharing of good practices in teaching, research and service amongst the IAM community
