Background
E-CReW aims to provide a forum for early career researchers to get feedback on their research in a supportive and non-threatening environment, interact with and receive advice from more experienced academics, and to meet other researchers at a similar stage in their research careers. It also provides a forum for employers to meet new graduates and those who are soon to complete their degrees, and for research agencies to discuss current research needs.
This is the third E-CReW event. The first was held in 2005, and the second in 2007. Both were attended by 70 people from 7 countries, with the majority of those attending from Australia or New Zealand. Participants made many new contacts, gained insight into the latest research being conducted in Australia, and received extensive feedback on their research.
E-CReW 2009 will be attended by Prof Kevin Boyle, who is one of the USA's most respected environmental and resource economists and is currently head of the Department of Agriculture and Applied Economics at Virginia Tech. It will also be attended by Prof Jim Wilen (University of California – Davis), and Prof Caroline Saunders (Lincoln University) who are international experts in natural resource economics and sustainable economic development respectively. Other mentors attending include Prof David Pannell (University of Western Australia), Prof Kevin Parton (CSU) and Prof John Rolfe (CQU).
E-CReW 2009 is hosted by the Institute for Land, Water and Society at Charles Sturt University. The management team for the workshop comprises Prof Mark Morrison, Prof Kevin Parton, Dr Rod Duncan and Prof John Mullen (Charles Sturt University), Dr Steve Hatfield-Dodds (Dept of Climate Change), Dr Darla Hatton MacDonald (CSIRO) and Prof David Godden (NSW DECCW).
Workshop description
The workshop will be held over two days and will
involve participants giving a presentation on their
research and receiving feedback from a number of
mentors with a strong reputation and experience in
environmental and resource economics.
We do not expect all participants to present a completed paper. Work-in-progress or project ideas can be presented in a well organised 20-minute presentation.
The workshop will also provide all attendees with insights into the latest research being conducted in environmental and resource economics.
Anyone not intending to make a presentation is still welcome to attend.
Information for Presenters
Those who would like to present their work should submit an abstract and/or manuscript on the
E-CReW registration page by the 9th October 2009.
We hope to accommodate as many presenters as possible but, due to limited workshop time, not all candidates may be given the opportunity to present. Notification will be provided to candidates by the 9th October 2009.
