Sobre o programa

Environmental Policy and Law

Apano Meria is a Social Cooperative Enterprise that is populated by people who have chosen to live, work and study at the island of Syros, Greece. Dealing face-to-face with the risk of Syros becoming a mass tourism destination, our goal is to make the natural, geological and cultural wealth of the island globally renowned, making the area an attraction for activities with both low impact and high quality, as well as creating jobs for young unemployed scientists. We strive to prove, in action, that a sustainable lifestyle can improve the everyday lives of locals whilst attracting visitors who appreciate the peculiarities of the place and need an authentic experience.

Our Social Cooperative Enterprise focuses on creating tangible examples of sustainable practices in the protected area of Syros. Our policy and law team does comparative research of legal and policy provisions and practices in countries around the world regarding environmental issues (protected areas, renewable energy, endangered species etc). Your research outcomes will contribute to the creation of an open-access scientific database regarding issues of the Cycladic ecosystem, as well as publications of informational materials and policy proposals. You will also have the freedom to propose new research topics and thus support your own research projects.

All participants in our projects live and work communally on our Research base, on the outskirts of Ermoupolis. The base is conveniently located near a mini bus stop (city buses are free) and another inter-city bus stop. There are abundant supermarkets, restaurants bars and cafes in the vicinity especially given the fact that Ermoupolis is an extremely walk-able city. As far as living conditions on the base, volunteers and researchers share our 3 bedrooms along with a fully equipped kitchen and a big living room. There are also 2 co-working spaces where we can all work together.
The SCE team consists of 4 people, Io, Marina, Helen and Andrian. Io is the president of the as well as the supervisor of the Environmental Policy & Law program. Marina is the admissions manager responsible for any and every issue or question volunteers might have before, during or after their participation on our programs. She also supervises the Support a Social Co-operative & Primary Production programs. Helen runs our social media and supervises the Communication, Digital Marketing & Graphic design program as well as our product design Internships. Lastly, Andrian manages our Precious Plastic Syros lab and is supervising our Plastic Recycling & Upcycling program.

Researchers are expected to bring their own laptops and be punctual regarding their responsibilities. For us, direct, clear  and respectful communication is key. For any issues or questions that might arise you are always welcome to contact us. Someone from the Apano Meria team will always be available.

Who are we?

The idea for SCE Apano Meria was born in 2015 through an open assembly of citizens of Syros and was finally established in 2017, with the aim of highlighting, protecting and preserving the Northern part of the island (Apano Meria). Project Juniperus is home to a number of different research and volunteer programs mainly focused on the protected area. The SCE created a research base  that can host up to 9 young scientists and volunteers who visit the island either to carry out their individual research or help us achieve our goals.

What do we do?

Our organization is working towards Environmental Education and Protection. As such we organize educational hikes, plastic recycling workshops and cultural events with the aim of informing and mobilizing the public to take an active stance towards protection. While the data available is scarce, fragmented and obsolete, this is exactly the information needed in order to effectively ensure protection. With this in mind, we apply citizen science methods to collect data and enrich the existing databases.

Where do we work?

We are located in Syros, among the Cyclades in the Aegean sea. Although the research base is in the port city of Ermoupolis, most of our field research is done ..well.. in the fields of the island and mainly on the northern part (Apano Meria). More than 45% of Syros is under protection of the european framework Natura 2000; two directives that protects both habitats and birds.


Who are we looking for?

The perfect candidate to come on board is a motivated, self-driven nature-loving individual! Although we are happy to teach you some of the necessary skills on board, some of our programs require a prior academic background. The most important things are that you are willing to live and work as a group, speak English and you are willing to help a common cause. If the answer to these questions is a yes, we're sure that you will be a good fit for our team!
