Future Earth Early-Career Fellowship Awardees Announced
Future Earth Global Secretariat Hub China has launched an Early-Career Fellowship (ECF) program to encourage early-career researchers to share their interdisciplinary research, pursue unique collaborations, and build a network of colleagues. This program is supported by Future Earth’s China Hub and the Secretariat of the China Association for Science and Technology Working Group for UN Environment Consultation Secretariat.
Our China Hub received applications from all over the world, and we are excited to announce 14 researchers have been selected after a collaborative review process by colleagues from Future Earth Hubs in China, France, Japan, and the United States. The ECF selection is based on applicants’ merit, research background, and innovative nature of the proposed research topic in relevance to the Sustainable Development Goals.
