View this email in your browser Share Tweet Forward   The Association of Polar Early Career Scientists (APECS), the German Arctic Office of the Alfred Wegener Institute, Helmholtz Centre for Polar and Marine Research (AWI), and the Icelandic Center for Research (RANNIS), in cooperation with the German Embassy in Reykjavik and supported by the German Federal Foreign Office are organizing a workshop "Raising awareness and building capacity for science-based policy-making" on 8 - 9 October 2019 in Reykjavik, Iceland just before the start of the Arctic Circle Assembly 2019. The dialogue between scientists and policy-makers is crucial to ensure that climate and environmental policies are based on sound scientific knowledge. Therefore, the knowledge transfer from science to policy plays a major role in modern science and will be even more important in the future. Exposing researchers to the science-policy-interface is particularly important in an early career stage to develop an understanding of the tools and processes involved and a natural collaboration beyond science. Policy needs scientists who have consolidated knowledge and give objective and independent advice. Communicating scientific information to policy-makers requires certain skills in translating the scientific information into information that can be understood by policy makers or non-scientists, as scientists and policy-makers very often speak different "languages". This workshop aims to provide training to early career researchers to raise awareness of the need to communicate beyond the research community, to introduce new career paths for early career researchers outside academia and to lower "mental barriers" in the transition between politics and science. The agenda will include invited introductory keynote presentations by both policy-makers and scientists experienced in knowledge transfer. Two breakout groups led by invited mentors will discuss specific elements of the science-policy-interface in more detail. The two-day workshop will be open for up to 30 participants. Invited to apply are Arctic research-focused PhD students and PostDocs from both natural and social sciences and early career Arctic indigenous researchers or knowledge holders. Limited travel funding generously provided by the German Federal Foreign Office is available for participants who are either affiliated with German institutions or are German citizens working abroad or are Arctic indigenous researchers and knowledge holders.  More information about the workshop and the application form are available on the APECS website Application deadline is on 31 May 2019 at 13:00 GMT For questions please contact info@arctic-office.de or info@apecs.is.     Facebook Twitter Website Email Our mailing address is: Association of Polar Early Career Scientists (APECS) International Directorate Office Alfred Wegener Institute, Helmholtz Centre for Polar and Marine Research Telegrafenberg A43 Potsdam 14473 Germany Add us to your address book unsubscribe from the APECS mailing list    update your APECS profile

Polar Nutrition Outreach Opportunity - National Maritime Museum - 17th August

Dear UKPN mailing list,

 

We were contacted recently by the National Maritime Museum and asked whether we would like to run a family-friendly workshop on Polar Nutrition during their well-being and nutrition on the 17^th August.

 

‘We are developing a new family festival this year focused on well-being and nutrition, to partly respond to food poverty in the borough of Greenwich as well as to provide fun and free activities for local families. We are hoping to programme some activities that respond both to the theme but also to the museum’s collection, including our Polar Worlds gallery. Charlotte and I were wondering whether the UK Polar Network ever looks at diet in the Polar regions and whether you might be interested in participating in the festival from this perspective? We are looking for something the whole family could join in with and that could be run at a selection of times throughout the day. The festival is being held on Saturday 17^th August. Let me know if you would like to discuss further.’

 

As the UKPN committee is mostly consists of Earth/Ocean and social scientists we do not feel suitably qualified to run an event on this topic and so we are reaching to our members to see if anyone has relevant knowledge and would be interested in running a workshop at this festival at the museum. We found this interesting resource online: https://www.stem.org.uk/resources/elibrary/resource/445111/polar-explorer-cookbook and thought this could be a good starting point for planning some activities but we are also open to other ideas. Your travel expenses will be covered (ideally < than £50 pp if 3 volunteers attend) and we will cover costs of any purchased materials for the activities. If you are interested please contact education@polarnetwork.org by the 7^th of May and we can explore the possibility of running the workshop.

 

Many thanks,

Chelsey

With so much going on, we rely on our dedicated and enthusiastic volunteers to ensure the success of this event. We are looking for people who are happy to engage in a wide variety of tasks, have good team working skills, are comfortable talking to the public, have an interest in science and, above all, are enthusiastic.

If you're interested, please see full details here: https://careers-royalsociety.icims.com/jobs/1297/volunteers---the-royal-society-summer-science-exhibition-2019/job

All applications should be submitted by Friday 3 May. Please direct any enquiries to exhibition@royalsociety.org.
