Students must be currently registered in a graduate program in ecology, environmental science, evolution or a related discipline in a Canadian university. Students should be enrolled in a CIEE (Canadian Institute of Ecology and Evolution), or they or their supervisor must be a current CSEE (Canadian Society for Ecology and Evolution) member. The highest priority will go to students who have already taken the Living Data project courses “Synthesis statistics for ecology and evolution” and “Scientific collaboration in ecology and evolution” OR who are registered or commit to register to take these courses in fall 2025. Together with these two courses, participation in this working group will fulfill most of the requirements for a CIEE Certificate in Synthetic and Collaborative Science. Students who have participated in a previous Living Data Project working group are ineligible.
