Dear UKPN,

We want to draw your attention to a webinar which may be of interest that will be streamed live as part of the International Geological Congress in Brisbane, Australia on Wednesday 8th August. The webinar (co-organised by YES Network and APECS) is on Education and Outreach in Polar Science and we will have some fantastic speakers from various countries and organisations taking part. If you are new to UKPN and interested in E&O, or if you are just looking for some ideas of ways that you can get involved with Polar outreach, please join us online.

The session will include:


Rhian Salmon (APECS) - Motivation: Why should we do E&O?

Sophie Weeks (Scott Polar Research Institute) - Inspiration for E&O

Sander Houben (Utrecht University) - Examples of E&O: Going into schools

James Witts (University of Leeds) - Examples of E&O: Adults and the wider community

Heidi Roop (APECS) - What can APECS do for you?



We will also be joined by Sian Henley from the UKPN and APECS who will be on hand to answer your questions following the main speakers.



Details for joining the webinar are below! It would be great to have you there!



Kind regards,



Aisling Dolan (UKPN/APECS) and Punyasloke Bhadbury (APECS/YES) - convenors
