abstract = "The Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and
Ecosystem Services -IPBESlaunched its Fellowship Programme in 2015
to involve early-career experts in its ongoing assessments on the
role of biodiversity and ecosystem services for enhancing human
wellbeing. The Programme provides an opportunity for early-career
individuals from a variety of backgrounds and disciplines working
on biodiversity and ecosystem services to fully participate in
IPBES assessments through writing and reviewing documents and
attending specific workshops and author meetings. This effort
fosters the development of intergenerational, interdisciplinary
and transnational partnerships. Creating such an atmosphere serves
the larger goal of facilitating sustainability transformations by
empowering and embracing diversity in skills, leadership styles,
and values. In addition to working on the assessments, fellows
benefit from the mentorship programme in which they are paired
with senior experts working in the assessment. The mentorship
involves knowledge exchange and mutual learning through the
established intergenerational partnerships between fellows and
senior experts. Although the fellowship finishes once the
assessment is approved, fellows can choose to continue being
involved through the newly established IPBES Fellows \& Alumni
network run by former and current fellows. For example, fellows
have published scientific articles together, and currently
multiple publications are under preparation. Additionally, alumni
potentially serve as a pool of experts for upcoming assessments,
mentors and resource persons for new cohorts of fellows, and those
involved can act as ambassadors for IPBES in their local
institutions, countries and regions. Besides presenting the
Fellowship Programme, the poster will highlight the main lessons
learned through practice and reflection about the role and
relevance of the programme.",
