Welcome to the Early Career Scientist Section (ECS)
We are the network for doctoral candidates and postdocs working in the field of Earth sciences and related research disciplines within Geo.X. With this section we want to provide a platform for you
- to create networking opportunities amongst young geoscientists in Berlin and Potsdam
- to foster the exchange across all Geo.X partner institutions
- to discuss current issues of geoscientific research and related fields
- to provide an opportunity to present and discuss your projects
- to distribute interesting and informative content
The ECS-Section lives by the particpation and engagement of every early career researcher who brings ideas and questions into the network, or who wants to organize events that help to advance early stage scientific careers.
There are various ways of getting involved!
If you have ideas, questions or any remarks, please contact the core team at geox-ecscore@listserv.dfn.de. We are happy to hear from you!
