Deadline Reminder: Arctic Research Sailing Expedition

Hi all, 

The UK Polar Network is collaborating with the Novara One Planet programme to support early career researchers in participating in an Arctic sailing expedition to conduct research projects. 

If you have a project idea, please submit an expression of interest by 5pm GMT on the 1st of Feb! Application form here: https://forms.gle/5FhehSUweYFsw5Gz7

Projects should be related to trans- or multidisciplinary research which links to community preparedness and adaptation to climate change. Themes include: coastal hazard risk reduction; vulnerability; climate change impacts; climate change adaptation; community and ecosystem resilience; ocean literacy; ocean and coastal governance. More details can be found in the EOI form above. 

This is not a funded opportunity, but the UKPN will provide funding application support to selected ECR applicants. This would include, for example, guidance on grant applications, and reviewing proposal documents. You can of course self fund if you have the resources already. 

If you have any questions, please email president@polarnetwork.org. 

Many thanks,

Chloe

It is possible to request funding towards publication of books, monographs and field guides.

Projects involving education, training courses or citizen science activities are eligible if they focus on taxonomy and systematics. Applications for education activities or training courses must include the target audience/s, approximate number of participants and anticipated learning outputs. Citizen science applications must describe how the project team will be working together and/or co-design with the public, as well as listing the desired outcomes.

An applicant must be a current member of the Systematics Association or Linnean Society of London. More information on guidelines provided here: https://systass.org/grants-and-awards/linnesys/

UK Antarctic Heritage Trust webinar Hand-built heritage: conserving Antarctica's wooden architecture

Dear all,

 

Just wanted to share our latest webinar that will be live tomorrow evening from 6-7pm GMT.

 

This month, we explore the hidden history of Antarctica’s post-war architecture. Discover how these amazing structures were designed using pre-fabricated panels and make-do-and-mend salvaged materials and built against the odds, and meet the people whose job it is to restore and protect them today.

 

Our expert speakers will highlight the challenges of conserving wooden buildings in remote locations and extreme Antarctic conditions and discuss the threat that climate change has on these structures as we look to protect their future.

 

To book your free place visit https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/antarctica-in-sight-live-hand-built-heritage-tickets-488579824407.

 

Please spread the word and I hope to join some of you tomorrow night.

 

Kind regards

 

Heather

Final Call for Volunteers - Cardiff and Aberdeen Science Festivals

Hello UKPN,

This is your final call to sign up to volunteer at the Cardiff and Aberdeen Science Festivals, so if you had it on the to do list, now is the time to tick that task off!

In February, we will be taking part in the Cardiff Science Festival (17th - 21st Feb 2023), and in late May/early June, we hope to host some workshops at the Aberdeen Science Festival "Techfest" (29th May - 4th June 2023).

We are looking for volunteers to help put on the events, including:
Setting up and running fun and engaging science-themed activities and experiments
Chatting with visitors and answering questions about polar science

These will be fantastic ways to engage with diverse audiences of families and young children and potentially inspire the next generation of polar scientists!

No experience needed - all we ask is your commitment and enthusiasm.

Cost for travel and accommodation expenses would be covered. For more information about each of the events, and to express interest please go to the following links:
Cardiff Science Festival Volunteer sign up

Aberdeen Techfest Volunteer sign up

Please be aware that the deadline for sign-ups for both events has been extended due to email issues and is now 22nd January 2023.

Hope to see you there!

Webinar: Antarctic Science Bursary: tips for potential applicants - 2023

Dear UKPN members

 

In coordination with the Association of Polar Early Career Scientists (APECS), Antarctic Science Ltd. is running a webinar to help potential applicants for the 2023 Antarctic Science International Bursary. This bursary runs every year and is for up to £6000 to support PhD or early career researchers to extend the scope of an existing research project. The 2023 bursary application is now open. More details regarding the bursary are here: http://www.antarcticsciencebursary.org.uk/. 

 

The webinar will explain more about the bursary and advice on how to submit a successful application. Previous recipients of this bursary will share their experiences on the usefulness of this bursary in their research careers in Antarctic science. This will be followed by a Q+A session, where you can ask any bursary-related question to our panel of past award recipients and members of the Antarctic Science bursary board.

 

The webinar will be at 3:00 pm (GMT) and again at 8:00 pm (GMT) on Friday, January 13. 

 

Registration information is available here: https://apecs.is/news/apecs-news/5114-antarctic-science-bursary-2023.html.

 

I look forward to welcoming you on 13th January 2023.

 

Cheers,

Shridhar
