IPBES is currently seeking fellows to participate in two assessments to be launched in 2018:
- The methodological assessment regarding the diverse conceptualisation of multiple values of nature and its benefits
- The thematic assessment of the sustainable use of wild species
Selected fellows will take part as authors in the chapter of the assessment they are selected for. They will attend author meetings and receive training to gain an in-depth understanding of the IPBES assessment processes. They will also be paired up with a mentor for the assessment period.
Requirements
Nominated fellows should have expertise in one or more disciplines of natural science, social science or the humanities, be indigenous and local knowledge experts or have expertise in indigenous and local knowledge systems, or be policy experts and practitioners. All nominees should have experience in working within interdisciplinary, international and/or global contexts.
