Ongoing activities

  1. The already traditional monthly #plantscijobs “storm” on Twitter. During one-hour, we tweet multiple job offers from the Global Plant Council principal Twitter account with the hashtag #plantscijobs. The storms are schedule every last Friday of the month, between 3-4 pm CEST.
  2. A Facebook and a LinkedIn group where we post daily opportunities related to plant science. Those posts are posted regularly, with the hashtags #plantscijobs, #plantscigrants, #plantsciprizes, #plantscinternships…
  3. We have prepared a curated list of plant science jobs and grants resources provided by our 30 members.
  4. We are gathering a collection of resources to help plant scientists disseminate their reseach more efficiently towards the general public.
  5. We host a workshop on science communication in parallel to our annual meeting.
  6. The Global Plant Council partners with Plants, People, Planet and together we launched an online video contest that gave participants the possibility to win a $250 voucher. Result of the competition is available here.
  7. Currently we are gathering means of online networking in the COVID era in our ECRi networking section.
