MEFA is a spin-off of the Ecological Research as Education Network (EREN).


The Macrosystems Ecology For All Research Coordination Network (MEFA RCN) is a diverse and welcoming community for faculty in teaching-focused positions to gain the training necessary to become full participants in macrosystems science.


A core aspect of the MEFA RCN is the development and hosting of conferences and other events to facilitate training and networking for faculty interested in macrosystems science.


Upcoming MEFA events will be posted here:
