We must explain to you how all seds this mistakens idea off denouncing pleasures and praising pain was born and I will give you a completed accounts of the system and expound.
ContattaciBeGEOscientists (BeGEO) is an association created by young researchers in Earth Sciences with the aim of supporting initiatives that foster the promotion of culture, freedom of scientific research and the circulation of ideas within a Geosciences framework.
BeGEO stems from the need to create an extensive network among geoscientists in order to build up long-standing scientific collaborations and exchangings that allow to communicate by removing geographical distances.
We organize events that allow you to interact with experienced and qualified researchers, professors, and professionals in the field of Geosciences.
The BeGEO.NET portal gathers a community of researchers by promoting the exchange of ideas and scientific collaboration at every level among researchers in the geosciences.
The BeGEO-WORK portal publishes job vacancies, internships, and other opportunities in Italy and around the World.
The statute of the BeGEO scientists association consists of 8 articles defining its aims and rules, the methods of organization, the members admission and election criteria.
The BeGEO scientists association supports and carries out initiatives with the aim of promoting the exchange of new ideas and projects of scientific interest in the Earth Sciences framework.
The most important goal of the association is the creation of a network connecting young geoscientists among them and with academia and the professional world.
