Early Career Researchers Network
This network aims at bringing together mountain biodiversity professionals who are at an early stage of their career and are looking for a community of peers with whom to share ideas, expertise, questions, and opportunities.
We define early career professionals as anyone whose career has started within the last 10 years and who is connected to mountain biodiversity science. This includes researchers who have received their Bachelor's or Master's qualification within the last 10 years or their PhD within the last six years, as well as professionals working at the interface of society, policy, practice, and research in mountain biodiversity.
