    Applications are now open for an inclusive writing retreat to provide early career researchers (ECRs) with the time and space to work on publications. This event aims to help develop the writing skills and confidence of attendees, so that they make the most of writing opportunities within the sector.

    This opportunity is open to all UK-based, energy focused ECRs, but we particularly encourage applications from groups underrepresented in energy research. This includes (but is not limited to) people from ethnic and racial minority backgrounds, women, those who identify as LGBTQ+, and those living with a disability or long-term health condition. We are also keen to receive applications from researchers from diverse socio-economic backgrounds, including first generation scholars, as well as those with caring responsibilities who usually find it difficult to attend events and networking opportunities.

    The retreat will be held over two days and two nights at Craiglands Hotel, Ilkley, on Wednesday 12 and Thursday 13 November 2025. The agenda will consist of a mix of group sessions, networking activities and writing time. Researchers will be able to network with like-minded peers, give and receive feedback on work, gain new perspectives and receive advice on career advancement.

    The emphasis will be on creating an atmosphere where all can work towards their goals together. As the focus is on writing, applicants are required to bring with them a specific writing task(s) that they want to focus on, such as a grant proposal, research report, book chapter or conference paper.

    Applicants are encouraged to inform us of any reasonable adjustments they might require. This may include engaging an English Sign Language interpreter, arranging a quiet room to have breaks, or any other accessibility requirements.

    The retreat is completely free. UKERC will cover all hotel costs and can also cover travel costs for those that need it (provided applicants are based in the UK), we can also assist with childcare costs that go beyond ordinary care arrangements. Our aim is to remove as many barriers as possible that may prevent researchers from attending. Please contact UKERC’s Events and Engagement Manager – Oluwatobi Balogun, or Operations Manager – Jessica Bays for more information.

    Applications open on 14 August 2025 and will close on 26 September 2025. Any UK based ECR working on energy is eligible to apply.

    We define an ECR as an individual employed to conduct research activities on precarious contracts (e.g. open-ended, fixed term or project-funded) and who has not previously led a project exceeding £100k.

    We have space for 20 applicants to join the retreat. Five spots on the retreat will be reserved for UKERC ECRs. These will be selected randomly from all UKERC applications. The remaining places will be allocated randomly from the remaining pool of applications.

    To apply please complete this application form and associated EDI monitoring form.
