The YES Network is an international association of early-career
geoscientists who are primarily under the age of 35 years and are from
universities, geoscience organizations and companies from across the
world.
The YES Network was formed as a result of the International Year
of Planet Earth in 2007. In 2009, in collaboration with the IYPE and
under the patronage of UNESCO, the YES Network organized its first
international Congress at the China University of Geosciences in
Beijing, China. The Congress focused on climate, environmental and
geoscience challenges facing today’s society, as well as career and
academic pathway challenges faced by early-career geoscientists.
The YES
Network aims to establish an interdisciplinary global network of
individuals committed to solving these challenges, and furthering the
IYPE motto of “Earth Sciences for Society”.
The Rwandan YES Chapter builds upon the vision and mission of the global network to
promote Earth Sciences in Rwanda.
