“…The following should be considered when setting up the programme’s digital infrastructure: geographical contexts and related restrictions, accessibility requirements for all participants, and available resources as well as financial or technical barriers to using them. A small selection of tools curated by careful testing can mitigate confusion, frustrations, and, importantly, digital exclusion (e.g., see [ 32 ]).…”

“…Communication tools selected for the programme should facilitate asynchronous interactions which is beneficial for both online and in-person programmes. For example, specific online tools designed for accessibility can be used for maintaining regular communication, sending updates, and holding mentor–mentee meetings (e.g., see [ 32 ] and Rule 7 ).…”

In recent years, a wide variety of mentorship programmes targeting issues that cannot be addressed through traditional teaching and learning methods alone have been developed. Mentoring plays significant roles in the growth and development of both mentors and mentees, and the positive impacts of mentoring have been well documented. Mentorship programmes are therefore increasingly being implemented in a wide variety of fields by organisations, academic institutes, businesses, and governments. While there is a growing body of literature on mentoring and mentorship programmes, gaining a clear overview of the field is often challenging. In this article, we therefore provide a concise summary of recommendations to consider when designing and establishing mentorship programmes. These recommendations are based on the collective knowledge and experiences of 4 different emerging and established mentorship programmes and can be adapted across various mentorship settings or contexts.

“…When possible, we recommend using professional subtitles. While automatic subtitles are a cheaper option and have made great progress in the past few years (see [11]), they can unfortunately reinforce disparities among speakers as content is often better recovered for those who are native speakers. Providing a textual version of all audio content will not only help those whose vocal understanding is impaired and those experiencing poor sound quality but will also make it easier for non-native English speakers to follow along.…”

“…Online conferences offer new opportunities for participant engagement. Proposing different channels with video, audio-only, or text-based methods [11] can reduce the barriers for asking a question, and designated volunteers can post on behalf of participants who would prefer to ask a question anonymously (for example in ABCD-ReproNim). Solutions are also available to let the audience vote for comments they like and steer the conversation towards topics of common interest.…”

The move from in-person to online scientific conferences due to the global health crisis has been hailed as a positive step towards inclusivity in its attenuation of economic, physical and legal barriers. Yet pre-existing and new challenges to truly inclusive conference experiences remain unaddressed. While acknowledging the benefits of an online setting, especially for individuals who have traditionally been underrepresented or excluded, fostering social justice requires active care to be taken to center inclusivity in every aspect of online conference design.In this work, we draw from literature on recent online events and from our own experiences as researchers during the past year to identify practices that purposefully encourage a diverse community to attend, participate in, and lead online conferences.

People, infrastructure, and data: A pathway to an inclusive and diverse ecological network of networks

et al. 2022

Macrosystem‐scale research is supported by many ecological networks of people, infrastructure, and data. However, no network is sufficient to address all macrosystems ecology research questions, and there is much to be gained by conducting research and sharing resources across multiple networks. Unfortunately, conducting macrosystem research across networks is challenging due to the diversity of expertise and skills required, as well as issues related to data discoverability, veracity, and interoperability. The ecological and environmental science community could substantially benefit from networking existing networks to leverage past research investments and spur new collaborations. Here, we describe the need for a “network of networks” (NoN) approach to macrosystems ecological research and articulate both the challenges and potential benefits associated with such an effort. We describe the challenges brought by rapid increases in the volume, velocity, and variety of “big data” ecology and highlight how a NoN could build on the successes and creativity within component networks, while also recognizing and improving upon past failures. We argue that a NoN approach requires careful planning to ensure that it is accessible and inclusive, incorporates multimodal communications and ways to interact, supports the creation, testing, and promulgation of community standards, and ensures individuals and groups receive appropriate credit for their contributions. Additionally, a NoN must recognize important trade‐offs in network architecture, including how the degree of centralization of people, infrastructure, and data influence network scalability and creativity. If implemented carefully and thoughtfully, a NoN has the potential to substantially advance our understanding of ecological processes, characteristics, and trajectories across broad spatial and temporal scales in an efficient, inclusive, and equitable manner.
