About US




YES Network Namibia aims to provide a platform for young, vibrant, innovative Namibian earth scientists with a passion for information sharing to share and learn about earth sciences.
The Beginning of YES-Network


Following the proclaiming of triennium International Year of Planet Earth (IYPE) by UN General Assembly in 2007. Youth all over the world took an initiative to support idea of IYPE and implementing its various themes by joining their hands and form a network called Young Earth Scientist (YES) network. The network provides a brilliantly platform for young professionals both practitioners and academicians) from different fields of earth sciences aged below 35 years old, to present their concern and solutions regarding to different scientific challenges facing our planet earth today, as well as sharing experiences together.YES Namibia was formed in 2009 and consolidated in 2013.



What we plan to do as a YES Network – National Chapter


Our chapter,a voluntary association, is composed of young earth scientists both academicians and practitioners who aged below 35 years old, working on the basis of the ten themes of IYPE. We will plan and execute activities of the network at national level and link with the executive board of the network worldwide. We aim to link young earth scientists at national level with other young scientists worldwide.
