SINO-ECO 2023 Awards

Call for nominations
Dear SINO-ECO Members and Friends:
To promote the recognition of students and young investigators from our association, we are calling for nominations and self-nominations for the 2023 SINO-ECO Awards.
(A) About the Awards
The SINO-ECO Awards are designed to recognize the research excellence of next-generation ecologists originally from China. A total of four winners, two for current students, and the other two for early-career scientists within five years of graduation, will be selected. The committee pays particular attention to empirical research when making the decisions so two of the awards will focus on empirical research. Each of them will receive a $150 cash prize and formal recognition by SINO-ECO. The funding support will come from the SINO-ECO annual budget.
