Dear YESSers, we hope you are fine.
Through this message, we, Giovanni and Nina, want to announce our joint
candidacy for the next YESS Executive Team (ET) 2021. When we started as ET
last year, everything was completely new for us, but we learned a lot and
managed to do various activities for our community. We will present an overview
about the activities on the YESS general Assembly, October 23rd. However, some
projects could not be realized due to the conditions related to COVID-19, such
as the YESS sessions in ESP Europe and ACES and a revival of the journal club.
From this, we would like to continue working for our community. We are
currently planning a one-day event next year, a YESS conference, to bring the
community closer together. Specifically, this means bringing together people
working in the same research area so that they can benefit from each other, in
terms peer-exchange, collaboration, joint publications or even to write a joint
research proposal. Due to the recent growth in membership, it is becoming
increasingly difficult for individuals to identify people working in the same
field or to identify where there is potential for collaboration. One of the
strongest advantages of our community is that we have such a large resource of
experts, and we need to strengthen this aspect.
However, to realize our plans, we also need your support. Therefore, we
encourage YOU to join us and to nominate yourself for the new ET! The ET can
have a number of 5 people.
For new members, we will make a brief description of ourselves:
* Nina Kaiser is a doctoral candidate in her third year at the University
Duisburg-Essen, Germany (Aquatic ecology), and works on the effects of river
restoration on ecosystem services. At present with a focus on social media for
the assessment of cultural ecosystem services and associated values. She is
interested in international collaboration.
* Giovanni Ávila-Flores is a PhD candidate in his last semester at the
Autonomous University of Baja California Sur, Mexico (Marine and Coastal
Sciences). He works in an integrated assessment of mangrove ecosystem, being a
chapter focused on ecosystem services. In the last three years, he has actively
participated with YESS, being part of the YESS delegations in IPBES and
participating in various related activities.
Best regards!!
Nina Kaiser and Giovanni Ávila-Flores, from the Executive Team!
