The theme of this year’s meeting was ‘Demography and Global Research’. Research is widely recognized as one of the most important engines of innovation, economic growth, socio-economic development and enlightenment for countries around the world. Early career researchers play a central role in a country’s knowledge economy because they represent an investment in the intellectual capital required to grow a strong national research and innovation system. Consequently, we will be considering the challenges and opportunities for the global community in supporting early career researchers. These include, but are not limited to: the changing relationship between age and research excellence and productivity; the challenges of balancing work and life, the shifting demographics of research and training globally, especially in the developing world where youth comprise between 60 and 75 percent of the total population; the increasing importance of collaboration and interdisciplinary approaches to research, the sticky issues of access and attribution, and the gaps in scientific capacity and training that exist between the developed and developing world.
