Global environmental problems like environmental change affect everyone and require scientists from different countries to collaborate and share data. The Global Ecosystem Research Infrastructure (GERI) was created to help make this happen by connecting major research organizations across five continents. Early career researchers (ECRs) are important to this work, but they often face challenges such as not having enough training or support. To understand these challenges, our team surveyed 577 researchers from 61 countries about their training needs and the obstacles they face when working internationally. The survey showed that there are important differences between researchers in Global North and Global South countries. It also found that many ECRs do not get enough training in key areas like project management and grant writing, even though they see these skills as very important. Research infrastructures can help fill these gaps by offering opportunities for networking and learning new skills. Being part of these networks helps ECRs develop important abilities that are needed for international science and long-term career success. By supporting ECRs through these networks and targeted training, institutions can help build a strong, connected group of scientists who are ready to tackle the global environmental challenges of tomorrow.
