The European Conference on Cognitive Ergonomics
15 – 18 September 2026 Siena, Italy
Early Career Researchers
As part of ECCE 2026, the European Association of Cognitive Ergonomics (EACE) has launched a new opportunity for Early Career Researchers (ECRs) to take on the role of an ‘ECCE ECR Representative’, designed to support and inspire the next generation of researchers and practitioners.
It is intended that the conference fee for participating ECRs will be fixed at half-price of the early-registration cost. You will also be able to present your own work if a paper submission is accepted.
If you are interested in making a difference then see below where we identify eligibility criteria, benefits, activities and your next steps.
