Early-career researchers will receive advice from more experienced academics and meet other researchers at a similar stage in their careers at the biennial Environmental and Resource Economics Early-Career Researcher Workshop (E-CReW 2009) at Charles Sturt University (CSU) at Bathurst on the Tuesday 3 and Wednesday 4 November. The head of the E-CReW management committee, Professor Mark Morrison, from the CSU School of Business at Bathurst, said E-CReW 2009 also provides a forum for employers to meet young researchers who will shape the future of environmental research, and for research agencies to discuss current research needs. “The workshop will involve mentors with a strong reputation and experience in environmental and resource economics, and developing researchers looking at vital issues involving climate change, sustainable development, and natural resource management,” said Professor Mark Morrison. E-CReW 2009 is hosted by the CSU Institute for Land, Water and Society.
