Dear UKPN members,
UKPN will be running a pre-conference workshop on the International Polar Year (IPY) on the morning of the first day (September 9th) of the UK Arctic Science Conference at Northumbria (https://www.northumbria.ac.uk/about-us/news-events/events/2025/09/uk-arctic-science-conference-2025/).
This workshop will share with attendees what IPY is, how it is structured nationally and internationally, current known activities, and a discussion on the last IPY. The intention is to introduce what IPY is and why it is important for ECRs to engage.
As a part of the workshop, we will have a panel discussion with speakers who were a part of the last IPY to discuss how the previous IPY functioned and positive outcomes/lessons learnt. We are currently looking for suggestions for speakers for this panel. If you have suggestions of potential speakers who have been a part of the last IPY, or you yourself were a part of the last IPY and would like to be on the panel, please reach out to : ipy@polarnetwork.org
Thank you!
Best wishes,
Izzy
