The 11th International Symposium on Antarctic Earth Sciences in
Edinburgh, UK, 10th ? 15th July 2011, is shaping up to be a fantastic
event in the 2011 Polar Science calendar and the abstract submission
deadline is fast approaching.
*Thursday 31st March at 5pm GMT*
is the deadline for submitting your abstracts for oral and poster
presentations. This is also the deadline for Early Bird (cheap!)
registration. This gives you two weeks from today, so log on to
www.isaes2011.org.uk and submit your abstracts and register before the
31st March!
There is funding support available for early career researchers from
ISAES, supported by the Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research
(SCAR). Make sure you submit a funding support application form at the
time of abstract submission in order to be eligible for this funding ?
go to http://www.isaes2011.org.uk/earlycareer.html for more
information and to download the form.
As well as a world-class science conference, there will be an Early
Career Scientists evening featuring a panel discussion with expert
mentors on the subject of ?Succeeding in Polar Science? with
refreshments provided, followed by continued informal networking in
the conference bar. We are also planning some exciting science
outreach and public engagement events, in which APECS and UKPN members
will play a key role!
This really is going to be a great event for UKPN, APECS and Polar
Science as a whole!
Best of luck with your abstracts and funding support applications. We
look forward to welcoming you to Edinburgh in the summer!
