ACTIVITIES

Tips and recommendations – practical advice for those looking to enter and grow within the ecological restoration sector.

Conference Sessions & Workshops at SERE – YOUNG#ER was launched during the SERE2021 conference (watch recording). Since then we have actively participated in all major SERE conferences organising sessions, workshops, fieldtrips and roundtables (see example).

Meetings – YOUNG#ER members meet occasionally to share opportunities, discuss their career interests and concerns, debate ecological restoration topics or showcase their work and receive feedback.

Education & Training Working Group – YOUNG#ER engages with SER-Europe’s broader efforts to shape education and training in ecological restoration through its participation in the ETWG. Find out more: www.ser-europe.org/etwg.
