The ECFA Early-Career Researchers (ECR) panel.

The ECFA ECR (Early-Career Researchers) panel is a group of 74 delegates from 30 European Countries and main Accelerator Laboratories. It was formed with the goal of collecting ideas from the research community and providing inputs to the ECFA Panel. The goal of the ECFA ECR Panel is to discuss the aspects that contribute in a broad sense to the future of the research field of particle physics and to the aspects that involve diversity and inclusion of physics programs, sustainability and the career path for young researchers. In its advisory role, the ECR panel provides an annual report to the Plenary ECFA meetings. In this context a survey has been carried out by the Italian representatives within the Italian community of non-permanent INFN employees and associates, from undergraduate students to tenure track researchers. The survey was composed of 28 questions regarding the research activity, the career perspectives, responsibilities, diversity, working conditions and recognition. More than 300 answers were collected within 10 days, confirming the high interest within the community: the results will be shown and discussed in this contribution.
