We are around 30 young researchers with a variety of different academic and cultural backgrounds.

- Welcome Group: Welcome Group: We welcome you as a new member, introduce you to the structure, and help you get involved.
- Finances: We keep track of our expenses and are the ones you can get in touch with when you plan to apply for (conference) funding.
- Mentoring: ECRA is also home to some more experienced people who have already finished their PhD so that we can help you with academic career planning, struggles with your supervisor, emotional support and other difficulties that are part of this journey.
- Retreat Planning: Once a year, we go on a retreat to spend time together, do workshops, discuss our structures, write and grow as a group. In this working group, we organise and plan this yearly retreat.
- Social Media: We advertise ongoing research, past events and portraits of ECRA people on our social media channels (mainly LinkedIn). You recognise us by the camera and tripod.
- Social Activities: We plan regular activities to come together, whether it's our monthly lunch, bi-weekly ECRAphia meetings to share goals, struggles, and cowork, or in-person events in and around Bremen. See past events.
- Guest Lectures & Workshops: To stay informed and grow our skills and knowledge, we keep you updated on current workshops and guest lectures from various institutions. If needed, we also organise our own workshops for ECRA.
- AI Tools: To stay up-to-date on emerging AI tools for research, data exploration, or management, we also have a task force focused on that.
- Summer School: As you might know, there is a LSC Summer School every two years. In this group, we plan everything around that amazing week, filled with input, workshops, exchange, and social events.
