YESS is an initiative started by a group of early career researchers on the field of ecosystem services.
The primary aim of the group is to stimulate an exchange of ideas, identify knowledge gaps and improve possibilities for training and capacity building in relation to ecosystem service science and practice. This network aims to achieve actual co-operation, explore ideas for innovative research and to gain experience in critical thinking and science communication.
To date, YESS has over 180 members with a combination of post-graduate students, early-career scientists and practitioners.

Activities
Activities within this Group should be developed by YOU and can be manifold, e.g. share ideas about ‘hot topics’ within the ES-field that are in need of discussion, provide suggestions for summer schools (and maybe help organize them), inform each other of PhD-positions and other early-career opportunities, and anything else you can think of that would benefit our group.
Journal Club.
We have online meetings to discuss scientific papers or other topics related to ecosystem services. These meetings are an excellent way of getting to know each other personally and professionally. You can find more information on the Journal Club here.
