At AquaConSoil, we are committed to making our conference accessible, inclusive, and enriching for people of all disciplines, age groups, nationalities, and career stages. Our goal is to ensure that everyone has a meaningful learning experience and fully engages with our sessions.
As part of this commitment, we place a strong focus on supporting Early Career Professionals (ECPs), including those attending a scientific conference for the first time. We understand that this experience can feel overwhelming, and we would like to ensure that no one feels alone or intimidated. To help you navigate and make the most of your time at AquaConSoil, our Early Career Professional Champion (Anjali Jayakumar) is here to guide and support you.
Additionally, we have embedded participative leadership into our conference programme, ensuring that young professionals are not just attendees but active contributors who feel truly integrated into the community. We want you to feel empowered to engage, share your ideas, and take part in shaping discussions without hesitation.
