Second Conference for Early Career Scientists in La Palma, Majorca, Spain
Sponsors/Organizers: PICES, ICES
Proceedings:
PICES and ICES (International Council for the Exploration of the Sea) co-sponsored a Second Conference for Early Career Scientists in La Palma, Majorca, Spain, from April 24-27, 2012. The conference provided an opportunity for marine scientists who are just beginning their careers to present and discuss new research results with peers who share similar interests in marine science. A goal of this conference was to provide a venue to foster the development of international contacts, collaborations, and associations that may persist for decades, and to establish personal and institutional networks that will advance understanding of the marine environment.
For a summary of the conference, see the summer issue of PICES Press (Vol. 20, No. 2).
First Conference for Early Career Scientists in Baltimore, U.S.A.
Sponsors/Organizers: PICES, ICES
In June 2007 PICES together with ICES - the International Council for the Exploration of the Sea co-sponsored a First Conference for Early Career Scientists in Baltimore, U.S.A.. The conference provided an opportunity for scientists who were at the beginning of their careers to meet colleagues from around the globe who share similar interests in marine science. The goal of this conference was to foster the development of contacts, collaborations, and associations among early career scientists that would persist for decades, and to establish personal and institutional networks that would help to advance our understanding of the marine environment. The report on the Early Career Scientists Conference is published in PICES 2007 Annual Report. The conference summary is published in PICES Press (Vol. 2, No. 15)
