[Oikos-listan] Representative fo INNGE needed!

Hi all,

The International Network of Next Generation Ecologists (INNGE, http://innge.net) is a network of ecologists that seeks to increase the prospects and collaborations for early-career ecologists. In practice, they intervene in national and international conferences through representatives from the various ecological societies.

I have served as one of their representatives for 2 years now. Unfortunately, I couldn't participate to the OIKOS conference this year, and will not do it either next year. Hence, I feel that I should leave my seat as representative to someone who will be more available for promoting the activities of the INNGE network (and who plans to go to OIKOS 2017!). A young scientist would be more appropriate, but anyone interested in promoting young researchers' careers is welcome (which are very much in need of help nowadays, read this article: "The plight of young Scientists" http://www.nature.com/news/the-plight-of-young-scientists-1.20870).

Let me know rapidly if you're interested!

Regards,

Mehdi (mehdi.cherif@umu.se, 090 786 92 39)
