Videos and slides from our Emerging Longitudinal Scholars (ELS) webinar series are now available to view and download. The series showcased 10 early career researchers at the frontier of longitudinal exploration.
The ELS webinar series provided a collaborative platform for fostering knowledge exchange and showcasing research by early career researchers using UK longitudinal population study data.
Chaired by our Research Fellow, Dr Neil Kaye, the series consisted of five hour-long interactive webinars and ran from January to May 2024.
Following a competitive call for abstracts process, we curated a diverse programme of talks on a range of topics covering children’s development, healthy ageing, diet and health, employment and wellbeing in midlife, mental wellbeing, ethnicity and gender.
You can access videos and slides for each ELS webinar presentation below:
