The event will provide invaluable opportunities for investigators (researchers and postgraduate students) at an early stage of their career to present their latest research to peers, to receive advice and guidance from more senior scientists in the field and to create a supportive context for ECRs to share their experiences and discuss the challenges faced in suicide and self-harm research.

Professor Ella Arensman, President of International Association for Suicide Prevention and Director of Research at the National Suicide Research Foundation of Ireland (NSRF) will be joining the event as a keynote speaker, alongside Professor Rory O’Connor, Director of the SBRL and Past President of the International Academy of Suicide Research (IASR).
