We are conducting a horizon scan to understand the anticipated needs of the UK Polar Early Career Researchers (ECR's) as we look forward to the International Polar Year (IPY) in 2032/33 as UKPN has been asked to provide input about ECR needs to various committees. We want to make sure that the input we are providing is based on feedback from the community so we want to hear from our members about what they think their needs will be over the lead up to the IPY in order that they can take advantage of all the IPY has to offer.
We have also received feedback from various sources that standard membership of UKPN is less beneficial than it has been in past when UKPN was a smaller organisation. We as a committee have been reflecting on how we might change this so we have included some questions about how we might make membership more useful for ECR's and what current members would find most useful for us to provide.
We would really appreciate input from members on this so that as UKPN continues to grow membership continues to be beneficial for all and a big thank you to those who have already completed the form. The deadline for filling out the form is the 18th February 2025.
