Who is a member, but the more you put in the more you get backNot one single type of member – all with diverse needs. PHASE 2 IS ABOUT WORKING TOGETHER FOR MUTUAL BENEFIT.Is it people on facebook who are members?People in the room today a memberWebsite for example. We can see that you are interested in Seminars with Pavan Sukhdev on Ecosystem Economics, Carbon in Soils, and the sustainable development goals (for example).But we can’t see what else you might think is relevant for SIANI. This takes days like today or also an email or a conversation with the secretariat to begin. Indeed the work we did in 2013 came out of a chance meeting with Ericsson.
