ECRcentral is a central platform for early career researchers community to find and discuss funding opportunities, share experiences, mentor peers, and create impact through community engagement.
The current logo of ECRcentral is very basic and descriptive. With the upcoming release of ECRcentral on February 8th 2019 it is time for branding ourselves with a great logo.
