About

Adaptation Futures provides a unique chance to share expertise, skills and backgrounds and exchange experiences with an active adaptation network. To facilitate the attendance of participants who would normally have difficulty attending, AF2023 is pleased to offer a number of capacity support in an inclusive approach.

Early-career-professionals, Indigenous persons, members of minority groups are especially encouraged to apply.

Recipients of the AF2023 Travel and Connectivty Grants will be a part of the AF2023 Fellow program where the Fellows will receive tailored support to enhance their AF2023 experience as well as specific information on relevant activities to strengthen the impacts of their conference participation (ex. Masterclasses, peer-learning, mentorship, fieldtrips, professional networking events).

In seeing the Fellows as the future leaders of the Adaptation Futures community, we will invite the Fellows to share their experiences and help inform the capacity support offerings and community-building initiatives for the upcoming Adaptation Futures conferences.
