The first Eastern Arc Health Conference for early career researchers (ECRs) will take place at the University of Essex on 8 July 2025.

Co-hosted and led by the University of Essex School of Health and Social Care and the Institute of Public Health and Wellbeing, the Conference will bring together early career researchers and practitioners across the four Eastern Arc institutions (Universities of East Anglia, Essex, Kent, and Sussex) to share their research and imagine the future. This is an opportunity to showcase ideas, network, discuss research, receive feedback, and develop new collaborations across the South East and East of England.

Registration for the conference is now OPEN! Further details and the registration link can be found here:

Eastern Arc ECR Health Conference 2025 - Eastern Arc

Final deadline for registration: 8th June 2025.

Conference overview

The conference will commence with a set of short plenary presentations from speakers who have experienced a range of different career paths and are at different stages of their careers. There will then be the opportunity for panel discussion between the plenary speakers and Q&A with the attendees.

This will be followed by parallel sessions broadly grouped into the following topics:

  • Health inequalities, human rights and social justice
  • Digital health and human systems interaction
  • Mental health, trauma and wellbeing
  • Social policy, care and wellbeing
  • Vulnerability and health
  • Sustainable health systems and the environment
  • Culture, community and resilience
  • Non-communicable diseases and neurodevelopmental conditions
  • Healthy ageing

Posters will be available to view throughout the day and will be presented during the lunch break and at the networking session at the end of the day.

Refreshments and lunch will be provided.
