Dear colleagues,
Many of you have filled out the survey - thank you! We would like to extend the deadline of the survey until January 10, 2021 in order to give some of you who haven't had a chance to fill out the survey yet to do so. It only takes couple minutes.
Thank you for your time and participation!
The UKPN and APECS Russia are the national committees of APECS – Association of Polar Early Career Scientists. We have recently organised two successful 'ARCTIS' field courses for UK- and Russia-based early career researchers in 2019 and 2020. The new initiative will help to understand better and facilitate stronger common goals and interests.
This survey aims to develop a roadmap for priority areas of UK-Russia bilateral Arctic research by understanding what challenges researchers face when undertaking, or wanting to undertake, collaborative research. The findings will be used to facilitate links between Russian and UK researchers, understand how to build mutually beneficial cooperation between the Russian and UK scientists, and importantly engage early career researchers and students from the UK and Russia.
We invite researchers (from all career stages) and everyone interested based in the UK and Russia who have previously undertaken, are undertaking, or want to undertake UK-Russia collaborative research to take part in this survey. The questions are designed to identify the challenges that people undertaking, or want to undertake, UK-Russia collaborative research projects face so that these barriers can be addressed to facilitate future and sustainable collaborative projects.
This survey is open 20 November to 10 January. We kindly ask you to spare approx. 10 mins of your time to share your views on this topic. If you have any questions please get in touch via (ukrussiasurvey@polarnetwork.org)
We will also be hosting online activities on this topic early next year. If you would like to find out more about these please let us know at the end of the survey.
Thank you for your time and participation!
