STECA - Second Temple Early Career Academy

The Second Temple Early Career Academy (STECA) is an international network for doctoral students and early career researchers, run by a Steering Committee, and currently based at the University of Birmingham.

Our aim is to create a virtual common room to support early career researchers wherever they are based. STECA is dedicated to support and nurture a new generation of researchers in a challenging Higher Education and external environment, both in the UK and internationally.
