Early Career Scientist Committee

Early Career Scientists (ECS) make up a significant portion of the SOLAS community. SOLAS initiates the ECS Committee to better represent the unique insights and opinions of this critical group at international levels, and to provide future generation scientists with networking and collaboration opportunities.

The SOLAS Early Career Scientists (ECS) Committee acts as a strategic and operational body to coordinate and champion early career activities within the framework of SOLAS science under the supervision of the SOLAS Scientific Steering Committee (SSC) and International Project Office (IPO).
