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.

PROGRAMME

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.


​main objectives

The overall objective of ARTrees learning village is to induct the beginning of a community of
practice upon selected young participants attending Agroforestry 2019 and to foster links with senior
leading researchers. This as a means to trigger their positive impact at the congress.

​Specific objectives:
  • to support the emergence of a network of French and international young professionals who are
working on topics in agroforestry.
  • to offer a mentoring program that will constitute the starting point of participant’s scientific
network and recognition.
  • to improve their communication skills with non-expert audiences.
  • to induct a collective reflection on agroforestry as a means to restore degraded ecosystems that
could serve as a basis for a future working paper, through several rounds of discussions and the
analysis of an agroforestry project set up by the association Terracoopa.

​APPLICATION

20 participants will be selected through a competitive application process.

To be eligible:
  • You can be a graduate student (about to finish your MSc or enrolled on a PhD) or an early-career
professional (you have completed your MSc or PhD less than 3-4 years ago).
  • You are able to communicate in English (knowledge of French is an asset).
  • You have a strong interest in interdisciplinary collaboration and intercultural exchange.
  • You are eager to share your skills and expertise in the ARTrees learning village.
