Emerging Researchers in Ageing

BSG ERA (Emerging Researchers in Ageing) is a vibrant network of students and early stage researchers. It provides guidance and support to students, pre and post-doctoral researchers and people who are new to careers in ageing and/or represent the interests of older people.  Presently, BSG-ERA represents around a quarter of the overall membership of the British Society of Gerontology.  It is structured around a Chair, Committee and Secretariat with the ERA Chair having a voting position on the BSG Executive Committee.  The ERA Committee constantly strives to offer as many opportunities to its members who come from a diverse range of backgrounds and walks of life.  Benefits of membership of the BSG include reduced rates at the BSG annual conferences; free access to the BSG online newsletter ‘Generations Review’; reduced subscription to the peer-reviewed journals ‘Ageing and Society’ and ‘Journal of Population Ageing’; and access to the membership directory.  ERA members benefit from the above and in addition access to a range of information and resources disseminated through ERAMAIL; ERA annual conferences or seminars and opportunity to apply for conference bursaries.
