Re: Opportunity to be part of the POLAR 2018 International Scientific Organizing Committee (ISOC)

Dear UKPN,

A clarification—this was supposed to be sent to the UKPN Committee and not to the general listserve—my apologies! (By the by, if you happen to want to be involved with the workings of UKPN, please let us know!).

Dear UKPN,

Please see attached an opportunity for early career researchers to be a part of the Intertnational Scientific Organizing Committee for POLAR 2018 (Davos, Switzerland). As the APECS Representative for ASSW 2017, I can say that this is an excellent opportunity to get to understand how international polar communities work and how things are decided at the top level, and of course, work with a very competent and efficient group of scientists, administrators, and politicians!
