UK Arctic Science conference ECR preconference workshop

Dear UKPN members, 

We hope everyone has had a successful field season and to start the move back into the academic year we have the UK Arctic Science conference taking place at Northumbria. As is tradition UKPN will be hosting the ECR pre-conference workshop (10am-12pm) ahead of the main conference. 

This year the session will be on the International Polar Year (IPY) to share with attendees what the IPY is, how it is structured nationally and internationally, current known activities, and a discussion on the last IPY. We hope this will be a useful introduction to what the IPY is and why it is important for ECRs to engage. We plan to make this event hybrid to enable UKPN members participating in all formats.

The first part of this session will give an overview of what the IPY is, how is it structured and who are the key organisations/individuals to look out for with time for further discussion. Then we will have Leeza Pickering, from the UKPN education and outreach team, speak on how we as ECR's can help inspire the next generation of ECRs ahead of their engagement with the IPY. The second part of this session will be a panel discussion with Henry Burgess (NERC Arctic Office), Pilvi Saarikoski (British Antarctic Survey), and Professor Kate Hendry (British Antarctic Survey) to discuss their experiences of the previous IPY and how to get involved in the next IPY. Finally we will then have a networking session to meet other ECR's!

If you wish to attend the pre conference workshop in person or online please sign up using the following link:

If you cannot make it to the pre conference session we also have Polar Beers after the conference on the 9th September where Prof. Rachel Carr and Dr. Amy Macfarlane will speak about their research at The Hotspur. This should be a very exciting evening full of Arctic science! Otherwise, many committee members will be around at the conference so if you want to chat more about UKPN or getting more involved with the activities we run please feel free to catch us! Here is a link to our current committee members.

Please let us know if you have any questions about the pre conference workshop or Polar Beers at info@polarnetwork.org and we are looking forward to seeing everyone there!

Thanks,

Fwd: COP - 30 colaboration

Subject: COP - 30 colaboration
To: <nc-representatives@apecs.is>

Dear polar colleagues,

APECS-Brazil is organizing a panel proposal for the first week of COP30, which will take place in Belém, Pará (Brazil). The aim is to engage in dialogue and share knowledge with the public and decision-makers about the importance of the polar regions and high mountain glaciers for Brazil, contributing to research strategies, mitigation, and adaptation efforts.

We currently have two open spots for panelists. We welcome individuals from diverse academic and professional backgrounds, and at different career stages. Participation is not limited to academia—people from the private sector, public institutions, and even the military are encouraged to join.

Unfortunately, we do not have funding available to cover travel costs, so participants will need to secure their own financial support or assistance online. Additionally, it will be difficult to find simultaneous  translation, so we encourage scientists who speak and understand portuguese. 

If anyone is interested in participating or would like more information, please contact Karina, the 1st Scientific and Multimedia Coordinator of APECS-Brazil via whatsapp +55 51 980184027. If you are interest, please contact Karina ASAP, the deadline to present the proposal is 30/08.

Warm regards,
Julieta
On behalf of APECS-Brazil
