Description
This group was created to complement the mostly online activities organised by the AUS/NZ National Node of the UN Ocean Decade ECOP Programme with in-person networking (and hopefully training) sessions during which we get to meet one another, talk about our goals and aspirations, learn about each other's research, share opportunities, and hatch new collaborations! We aim to foster integration and collaboration among the early career ocean professionals working at one of the many marine institutions in Western Australia, with a special focus on post-PhD researchers and professionals with a similar level of experience. The chapter is based at the Indian Ocean Marine Research Centre and currently led by ECOPs at CSIRO, AIMS, and UWA.
