Research, education, and dissemination of knowledge to local communities are fundamental components of science. However, the pressure on scientists to produce quickly a high number of outcomes often has a negative effect on the quality of research, education, and work-life balance of the young and senior alike. 

We believe that a balance can be nurtured by providing an alternative space.

We aim to provide an open space for learning and research of ecology; to promote an inclusive and diverse environment for developing collaborative research projects; and,  to bridge the gap between scientific knowledge and public awareness.
