To support the integration of early career scientists in our research community, ICES is offering an early career researcher the opportunity to take centre stage at the 2023 Annual Science Conference (ASC 2023).
ICES has now opened the call to nominate an early career scientist keynote speaker at ASC 2023. The Strategic Initiative on Integration of Early Career Scientists (SIIECS) successfully piloted this process for the 2022 ASC in Dublin and is pleased to provide this exceptional opportunity again for ECS to present their research, build their career, and engage with ICES community.
Within SIIECS, Daniel Ottmann,
DTU Aqua, is leading the Term of Reference that encourages the inclusion of
ECS in ICES expert groups and
other activities. "This is an exceptional opportunity for an ECS to boost their career perspectives and expand their career network. In SIIECS, we are looking forward to endorsing an excellent ECS to deliver this keynote.
We are now looking for candidates, so we ask you to either nominate yourself or nominate an ECS from your network".
