iN-Net is preparing the next generation of N scientists and stakeholders.

iN-Net has opportunities including annual research fellowships, policy fellowships, and participation in the NICCEE summer school.

Research

Early career researchers and professionals (ECRs) are official members of each working group. At least one member per working group serves as an iN-Net Research Fellow on an annual rotating basis. These members participate both in the virtual and in-person sessions.

There are opportunities to participate informally in working group discussions as well as more structured sessions for ECRs to introduce ideas and research questions they believe the working groups should consider.

There is currently an open call for a second Research Fellow to join the Governance Working group. Learn more here.

Policy

An advantage of including network partners focused on policy engagement and development is the opportunity for meaningful exchanges at the science-policy interface.

iN-Net Policy Fellowships will enable 2-3 N scientists to collaborate for a one-year term with iN-Net partner networks TFRN, GPNM and the UNEP NWG.

These fellows will participate in a range of activities to be determined with the partner network.

Applications for the 2025-2026 Cohort are now closed. Please check back in 2026 for future application opportunities.
