Welcome to the UK National Chapter of the global YES Network (www.networkyes.org), an international network for the support of early-career geoscientists and geoscience students. YES Network members are students and professionals from universities, geoscience organizations and companies from across the world and we encourage the active participation of those interested in supporting this international network.
The YES Network was formed as a result of the International Year of Planet Earth in 2007. In 2009, in collaboration with the IYPE and under the patronage of UNESCO, the YES Network organized its first international Congress at the China University of Geosciences in Beijing, China. The Congress focused on climate, environmental and geoscience challenges facing today’s society, as well as career and academic pathway challenges faced by early-career geoscientists. The YES Network aims to establish an interdisciplinary global network of individuals committed to solving these challenges, and furthering the IYPE motto of “Earth Sciences for Society”.
The UK National Chapter aims to promote and build upon the mission of the global YES Network "Promoting Earth Science for Society" whilst focusing on current issues facing our country within the geoscience discipline. The UK National Chapter is a platform for young and early-career geoscientists to share information and create a support group by providing professional development resources and opportunities for outreach and engagement.
