The results obtained demonstrate that the meanings and the use of expertise in the environmental activism are associated the distinct patterns for reconverting university and professional training in different spheres of activity, on the basis of previous and/or simultaneous bonds established by activists with diversified networks of organizations and 'social movements'.
