Have you ever wondered how it is to be a scientist? Do you wish to discover life in a unique international institute? Are you motivated by the protection of nature and a wish to experience a new culture in an exciting and friendly environment? We are currently looking to host European volunteers for 1 year now! The volunteer will work during all the year on differents projects, depending of the needs of the differents teams and on the feeling of the volunteer. he/she will take part of data collecting, field observations (with ornithologists, botanists or ichtyologists…)n take part of data analysis (on computer) under the responsibility of a project leader. If interest, he/she could work with communication team. For example, your focus could be mainly (but not only) on the Eurasian Spoonbill research, a beautiful bird with a distinct spoon shape like bill or working with the "Water" team to study river, marshes and sea connections.

ℹ️ Additional information

The project is implemented under the European Solidarity Corps Programme, financed by the European Commission.
The participating organisations have to be mindful of these needs as they are responsible for providing a respectful and trusting hosting environment. At the same time, the organisations participating in the initiative devote a great deal of time, energy and resources to set up a high-quality activity; they should therefore expect that European Solidarity Corps participants show a similar level of respect for the local communities and the people that are directly concerned by the activities (https://youth.europa.eu/solidarity/mission_en).
