13-19 May previous to agroforestry 2019
special event for young participants
One week, 20 participants, experienced team of experts and mentors. Collective research work on the field, seconded by a mentoring program, with results to be presented to non-expert audience.
Building up a community. Reinforcing soft skills. Discovering a genuine structure from the socio-economic tissue to broaden participants' career reflections.
WHY ARTREES?
One of the major factor of success for a young graduate aiming to undertake a research career, is
his/her capacity to build strong network with other young fellow scientists and with leading senior
researchers in their field. This is often achieved through the participation of these young graduates in
large research projects. However, just a few of them can access this type of network.
International congresses offer promising venues for these young graduates to build such network.
However, it appears to be hard for them to take full advantage of their participation in this type of
events, as they might feel intimidated by the environment and the presence of high-level well-known
scientists.
With ARTrees, we would like to foster the development of a network of young professionals who are
taking the opportunity that the World Agroforestry Congress 2019 represents.
There is a critical need for training and support programmes to help both young graduates and
young researchers get prepared for a successful development of their professional career. By
attending ARTrees learning village participants will have the chance to reflect and take action for
building up an accomplished professional trajectory.
