The SINO-ECO Club is an organization established for Chinese ecologists overseas, primarily those pursuing doctoral degrees at universities in North America. The club was established in 1989 following the 1988 Ecological Society of America (ESA) meeting In Davis, California, and has focused on promoting academic activities of these ecologists overseas via an electronic mail newsletter.
Club members are very active presenting research papers at annual ESA meetings and regional symposiums and international conferences and publishing in ecology journals. SI NO-ECO also maintains relationships with individual scientists and organizations such as the Chinese Ecological Society and ESA, Ecological studies In China in the near future will undoubtedly be strongly influenced by this group as they complete their studies and return to China.
The newsletter contains information on current research, upcoming meetings and conferences, domestic news, exchange programs, etc.
