The UK Polar Network are pleased to announce that, as part of the UK Arctic Science Conference, there will be a series of events specifically targeted to benefit early career researchers. These events are open to all, regardless if you have registered for the conference or not!
Panel Event: Past, Postdoc, Future
Date/Time: Wednesday 16th September, 19:15 - 20:00, followed by a UKPN dinner.
Venue: University Arms Pub, University of Sheffield
In conjunction with the UK Arctic and Antarctic Partnership, the UKPN is hosting a panel event that sheds light on the life of the modern postdoc. Our panel will be comprised of members that range from current postdocs, to senior lecturers working with postdocs, to provide multiple perspectives on funding, university/institutional roles, administrative and conference involvement, and the relationship with supervisors. Information from this event will be highly beneficial as feedback on how the UK Scientific Community can better support postdocs in their work and research.
The panel will then be followed by dinner in the same room, where you can meet and network with other conference attendees. Note that dinner must be pre-ordered and paid for in advance by the end of today (14th), which can be done here:

Social Sciences Gathering
Date/Time: Wednesday 16th September, 12:30 (before opening of conference).
Venue: University of Sheffield
We know there are many of you out there--come meet your fellow social scientists, and learn more about what is going on in polar social science! UKPN is keen on getting to know you all, and to see how we can support polar social science, and help bridge the gap between physical and social sciences in general.
UKPN Annual General Meeting
Date/Time: Friday 18th September, 14:00 - 15:00 (after close of conference).
Venue: Ron Johnston Room in the Geography & Planning Building, University of Sheffield
UKPN is hosting its AGM at the Arctic Sciences Conference this year, and all are welcome to join. We also will elect our new committee at this time, so whether you want to simply see what we are up to, or if you have an interest in the future opportunities for early career Polar researchers, please attend!
We hope to see many of you at these events. Please remember to pre-order your UKPN dinner!
Thanks,
