Our Fellows are brought together on a video conference every three months to share their projects at each stage of development – establishment, field trips, data analysis and writing up.
Chapter by chapter, the students learn from each other and from other ecologists – regardless of geographic location.
There's great potential for exchanges including visiting each other’s field sites and for an annual face-to-face get together with students, supervisors and our broader science team, featuring workshops, presentations, lectures and sharing of individual experiences in a casual, collegiate atmosphere.
Early-career scientists gain:
- conservation science skills under the supervision of professional scientists;
- experience developing, undertaking, analysing and reporting on a research project;
- skills in landscape monitoring, data collection and analysis, report writing and presentation;
- experience working with Traditional Custodians and the non-profit sector;
- access to professional networks; and
- increased opportunities for employment.
