2024 ESG Forum Session
This panel organised by the Early Career Committee presented the current Science and Implementation Plan of the Earth System Governance (ESG) Project to early career researchers and new fellows. After activities in previous ESG conferences, the Early Career Committee had identified that early career researchers and scholars who recently became fellows were unaware of the Science Plan or had made remarks about challenges in navigating or engaging with it.
This panel presented the current Science Plan to early career researchers and new fellows, as well as discussed its distinctions from the first plan. Considering the 2024 Virtual Forum, invited speakers were encouraged to reflect upon the current plan within the context of how to reimagine the Earth System Governance in an era of polycrisis.
Visit the event page on the 2024 ESG Forum website for more information.
About the early career network
As an early career researcher in earth system governance there are many opportunities to develop your research, skills and professional network. At the same time, the world of academia can sometimes seem daunting. How can you make the most out of academic conferences, publishing your first (or second, third, fourth..) journal article, starting to teach and supervise students, writing reviews, defending your PhD, acquiring funding, and balancing all these activities whilst looking after your mental and physical health?
Welcome to the Earth System Governance project’s early career network (ECR)! You are in the right place to get some help to answer these questions and more! We like to support each other as early career researchers. Therefore, we aim to collect and share resources and experiences including advice from mid-career and senior scholars, as well experiences from early-career colleagues. The ECR network is a space for expression and collaboration. Do you have an idea or blog post you want to share? Then please get in touch with the committee via the International Project: ipo@earthsystemgovernance.org.
The two major activities that early career scholars can avail of each year are the Mentoring Initiative and the Early Career Dialogues (or summer/winter school, as it falls).
