Help shape the future of the UK Polar Data Centre

Dear Colleagues,

Do you use data from the polar regions? Or would you like to in the future? Help shape the future of polar data services by completing our questionnaire.

The UK Polar Data Centre (UK PDC) is one of the EDS domain-specific centres. It is the focal point for Arctic and Antarctic environmental data management in the United Kingdom. Based at the British Antarctic Survey, the UKPDC coordinates the management and preservation of polar data from UK research, and supports researchers in complying with national and international data standards.

We are keen to ensure our data services evolve and improve to meet the needs of current and potential future users. To help achieve this, we have designed a brief questionnaire that asks for feedback on current services, and for ideas about new services that users would like to see. This should only take a few minutes to complete.

We are also setting up a User Forum to get more in-depth feedback on new services being developed. If you are interested in joining this forum, please include your email address at the end of the questionnaire.

Complete the questionnaire to help shape the future of the UKPDC.

The questionnaire closes 15 September 2026.

Please share with your colleagues!

Contact PDCServiceDesk@bas.ac.uk with any queries.

 

Best wishes,

Alice

Join the UK Polar Network Committee!

Hi all,


We are currently looking for new members to join the UK Polar Network committee for the 2026/27 year (September 2026 to August 2027). All the information you need can be found on our website https://polarnetwork.org/about-ukpn/join-the-committee/

The UK Polar Network is a group of early career polar researchers with around 500 members from aspiring undergraduates through to postdoctoral researchers, and polar scientists working in industry. We are the UK’s National Committee of the Association of Polar Early Career Scientists (APECS) and throughout the year, we organise skill and career development events for polar early career researchers, polar education and outreach for the general public, and promote equality, diversity and inclusion in polar science. Over the past year, we have delivered a ‘PolarSTEP’ field course in Yorkshire to 20 polar early career researchers, coordinated over 1000 flags from 260 schools heading down to Antarctica, attended science festivals and conferences and much more. We have many more projects planned for the next academic year. 

We are currently searching for enthusiastic early career individuals to fill the positions of Secretary, Treasurer, Festivals Officer, EDI Officer, Social Media Officer (x3), Marketing Officer, International Collaboration Officer and Training Officer. 

All positions are voluntary, with differing time commitments and flexibility. Further descriptions of each role and the role requirements can be found on the webpage above.

The application form is available on the webpage above, and the deadline is the 18th August 2026. If you have any questions, please reach out to info@polarnetwork.org.

Please do share this opportunity widely across your networks!

Kind regards,

Anona & Linnet 

UKPN Co-Presidents
