Dear APECS members,
I would like to bring your attention to a fantastic
opportunity for early career scientists to participate in the Davos
Atmosphere and Cryosphere Assembly 2013 (DACA-13) which is a joint
assembly of The International Association of Meteorology and
Atmospheric Sciences (IAMAS) and the International Association of
Cryospheric Sciences (IACS), both Associations of the International
Union of Geodesy and Geophysics (IUGG) to focus on "Air, Ice & Process
Interactions." For more information you can go to the website at:
http://www.daca-13.org/index_EN. Not only does this conference
encourage early career scientist participation, you will also get the
chance to prime your own research or partake in many other research
opportunities in preparation for a publication in the Annals of
Glaciology for the International Glaciological Socitey (IGS) meeting
in Hobart, Tasmania in March 2014. Additionally, you will get the
chance to participate in the APECS events which will facilitate
greater interactions and discussions about your research with other
members, as well as mentors during this meeting.
There is a potential for travel reimbursements for
early career scientists for the DACA-13 but funding is limited. The
following describes the eligibility of potential funding candidates
and further information on the funding procedure:
- Go to the website:
http://www.daca-13.ch/AbstractSubmission/index_EN):
- First register and chose your affiliation (i.e. IACS or IAMAS )
- Applicants will pay a non-refundable abstract handling fee of
CHF 30.- which will provide a login to submit your abstract.
- Within the abstract submission system, there is a button to
apply for travel grants: a short motivation letter, a short CV as
well as a list of publications are required.
The stipends are expected to subsidize registration and accommodation
costs for those who are eligible. There will be the possibility to
rent/share apartments in Davos, which will result in lower lodging
costs as well. Additionally, the youth hostel has multi-occupancy
rooms at affordable rates.
The deadline to apply for this is December 14, 2012 and all students
must submit an abstract by this date to be eligible for funding.
Please register at the conference website:
http://www.daca-13.org/registration/index_EN.
More information will follow on the planned APECS workshop prior to
this conference!
We look forward to seeing you there and if you have any questions
regarding this please contact me at penelope@udel.edu and/or Yulia
Zaika at yzaika@inbox.ru.
Best Regards,
Penny
