Fellowship Workshops
For 2026 there are two workshops, tailored to career stage – places are limited so participants will be required to register in advance.
- Early/mid career fellowship application workshop
- Junior fellowship application workshop
These interactive sessions will involve thinking carefully about what a fellowship is and what’s needed to secure one. Giving participants the knowledge and skills to apply for a fellowship so they are most competitive and increase their chance of attaining one. Particularly aimed at those who are keen on an academic research career path.
5-minute Research Presentation opportunity
One of the most exciting aspects of the course is the opportunity for participants to give a 5-minute flash talk presentation on their research to the course lecturers and participants. This provides a great platform for networking with fellow attendees and our course lecturers. Our previous participants have consistently rated this experience as the highlight of the course, and we strongly encourage you to take part.
If you would like to be considered to give a 5-minute presentation on your research, please send a 150 word abstract (authors and affiliation information is not included in the word count) to course administrator by 19 June 2026
Applicants will be notified shortly thereafter.
Meet and Greet Sessions
We will host virtual, informal Meet and Greet sessions with Loke CTR PIs on the final day of the course. This is a great opportunity to discuss opportunities for collaboration and training, as Loke CTR group leaders are eligible to supervise Loke CTR-funded PhD students and to sponsor Next Generation Fellows. Registration will be required for these sessions.
