CRITERIA TO QUALIFY AS AN ECR AT TRANSLATION CONFERENCES

Applicant skills and experience

ECR: Definition

DPUK’s formal definition of an ECR is an individual who is within ten years of the award of their PhD or equivalent professional training, or an individual who is within six years of their first academic appointment. These durations exclude any period of career break, e.g. for family care or health reasons. The ‘first academic appointment’ is defined as the first paid contract of employment, either full-time or part-time, which lists research and/or teaching as the primary functions.
