FEC Academy
Future Earth Coasts is first and foremost a dynamic network that reflects the interdisciplinary, international, and multi-scale challenge of developing transformation pathways for the sustainable development of the world’s coastal zones.
We build on strong relationships and developed a pool of experts, which previously served in various roles in our project – as members or chairs of our former Scientific Steering Committee or as staff in our previous IPO. Together they form the Future Earth Coasts Academy.
The FEC Academy is constituted of scientists and stakeholders of highest reputation, who act as ambassadors for FEC and take responsibility for the development of research and outputs of Future Earth Coasts. We are striving for diversity in the matter of geographics, discipline and gender. Membership will be expanded over the coming years and is by invitation only.
