YOUMARES 8 in 2017. I was responsible for the scientific
program of the conference. This included collecting and first
review of session applications and later abstract applications,
the arrangement of the time schedule and the on-site coordination of hosts, conference participants and plenary
speakers.
Being a part of the organization team was a totally new
aspect for me. I liked to connect people and to bring them
together to discuss and to network. The bases for shaping the
networking experiences of young researchers are, to my
experience, the shared research interests of the participants
but also that the conference provides useful interdisciplinary
workshops and other socializing activities. Thus, I see the
future of YOUMARES in promoting such workshops and
activities, side by side with the scientific presentations.
Participants should be able to present their research to a
broad, young audience and to participate workshops providing skills, which are useful for their future scientific life.
Additionally, there should be enough room and time to effectively connect to other young scientists. Connecting young
researchers might be a key component to help them establish
collaborations. In this sense, a conference like YOUMARES
helps to make research more efficient and more interdisciplinary, which ultimately might be a step towards a more
efficient battle against the big problems the world ocean is
facing right now.
