Contact Persons: Valentina Savo; Email: vsavo@uniroma3.it
Gesine Bradacs; Email: gesine.bradacs@anatom.uzh.ch
Location of the Chapter: University Roma Tre, Dept. of Environmental Biology, Rome, Italy
Description of the Chapter: The chapter primarily targets young ethnobiologists with a reference to Europe, either through origin, place of residence or work. It constitutes a central platform for relevant information concerning funding and employment opportunities in terms of grant deadlines or open positions and links to suitable search engines. Additionally it is meant to serve as a discussion forum for ideas, the exchange of research experiences and collaboration building. Especially members with teaching experience are encouraged to share materials and advice in order to reach a certain scientific standard for the ethnobiological education as a long-term goal. All members are invited to attend annual meetings of the chapter and of the parent organization. The Chapter meetings will be held as “camping-meetings” to keep costs to a minimum and to reach a maximum of flexibility as well as teambuilding.
