AQUACOSM ECR Network

Mission Statement

We are a global, grassroots network of Early Career Researchers (ECR) in aquatic mesocosm-based research. We promote the exchange of scientific ideas through ECR-led teaching and collaboration. Our mission is to build a vibrant, inclusive community where curiosity thrives, questions are welcomed, and everyone feels supported.

Our network welcomes anyone with a background in aquatic ecology, an interest in aquatic mesocosm-based research, and at least a year of research experience. We value diverse and non-traditional career paths, including those outside academia.
