All Governments, relevant institutions and organizations are encouraged to submit nominations. Nominations may be submitted by organizations or institutions, regardless of whether they are admitted to the Plenary of IPBES as an observer. Please help us disseminate this call for nominations of fellows widely to relevant institutions and organizations, such as universities or research institutions. The IPBES Fellowship Programme, which is part of a larger capacity-building portfolio of activities, targets early career experts who wish to gain experience by participating in the work of IPBES. Selected fellows will take part as authors in the chapter of the assessment they are selected for. Fellows will attend author meetings and receive training to gain an in-depth understanding of the IPBES assessment processes. Fellows will also be paired up with a mentor for the assessment period. Nominated fellows should have expertise related to the themes and skills required for the chapters of the assessment as set out in its scoping document (available here<https://ipbes.us8.list-manage.com/track/click?u=5da0fed71c7e4399fb28ab549&i…>). They should be experts on invasive alien species within one or more of the following disciplines: natural sciences, social sciences or the humanities; be indigenous and local knowledge experts or have expertise in indigenous and local knowledge systems; or be policy experts and practitioners. All nominees should have experience in working within interdisciplinary and/or international contexts. Governments and organizations are invited to nominate experts from a diversity of disciplinary backgrounds and gender, in order to ensure a balanced team of fellows. Please follow this procedure to nominate fellows: 1. Nominees are invited to fill out the application form and attach their curriculum vitae through the dedicated web portal<https://ipbes.us8.list-manage.com/track/click?u=5da0fed71c7e4399fb28ab549&i…> (to access this page, you will need to log in with your IPBES web site login credentials or Nominees not yet registered on the IPBES web site will need to do so by clicking on the "create new account<https://ipbes.us8.list-manage.com/track/click?u=5da0fed71c7e4399fb28ab549&i…>") 2.
