Formed
in January 1995, the ESAI (Environmental Sciences Association of Ireland)
is an association of individuals working in or with an interest in the environmental
area in Ireland. The membership is drawn from all sectors and disciplines,
ranging from biology and ecology to engineering, hydrology and management
and from professors to amateur naturalists. The association provides a network
for people in the environmental area, promotes good environmental practice
and better understanding of the environment and provides an expert and up-to-date
lobby platform for the environmental concerns in Ireland and abroad.
The aims and objectives of the association are to:
Provide a forum to facilitate exchange of specialist information and advice amongst
environment researchers, policy makers, environmental management practitioners and other
stakeholders, within Ireland and elsewhere.
Promote a fuller awareness of the role that higher-level education institutions may
make in finding solutions for the urgent environmental problems confronting contemporary
society.
Provide a forum for networking amongst environment researchers both at national and
international scales.
Facilitate an annual conference aimed at providing postgraduate and other researchers
with an opportunity to learn about each other's work, and for postgraduates to present and
publish papers within a supportive community.

Promote high professional standards amongst environmental researchers and professionals.
Provide a Code of Ethics for Environmental Professionals
in Ireland through its membership
The
association is growing steadily and relies entirely on volunteers to organise
events and produce ESAI documents. Modest membership
fees largely cover the production of the newsletter,
correspondence with members and help prime other association activities. The
future of the association will ultimately depend on the membership
- we welcome and encourage your input and help.
