Early Career Scientists

INQUA defines early-career researchers as graduate students and postgraduates within eight years of receiving their last degree. This period of eight years does not consider time taken not working as an academic or due to family responsibilities.

Our mission is:

• To increase the dissemination of information between INQUA, its Commissions and its young members through both ECR networks and social media.
• To reciprocally represent the views and increase the flow of information from the ECR community to the INQUA Executive Committee.
• To support early-career Quaternary scientists from developing countries and engage them in INQUA activities.
• To promote innovative research, scientific leadership, and community outreach among INQUA ECRs.

What are we doing?

Providing and sharing information about upcoming meetings, projects, jobs, opportunities, etc., and also about INQUA and its commissions. Helping to provide mentorship from experienced academics to the next generation of Quaternary scientists through the organisation of meetings and workshops. Promoting INQUA activities through outreach and social media.
