IPY Canada, The Association of Polar Early Career Scientists (APECS)
ArcticNet, and the Northern Research Forum (NRF) announce the IPY
International Early Career Researcher Symposium, to be held 4-8 December
2009, in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada. The Symposium is being
organized in conjunction with the 2009 ArcticNet Science Meeting, which
will be held after the Symposium, 8-11 December.
The Symposium will bring together arctic and Antarctic early career
researchers with experts to build skills, knowledge, and networks. The
workshop is based around seven themes:
- Community-based research;
- Funding your ideas;
- Working with policy makers;
- Communicating your science;
- How do I get started in science?
- Data management; and
- Time management and work/life balance.
The training sessions will give concrete and useful advice, insight, and
skills to help early career researchers meet the demands of polar
science. The Symposium will also provide an unmatched opportunity to
meet and collaborate with fellow early career researchers, and build the
networks that will strengthen polar research in the future.
Lodging and food will be included and travel support will be available.
Registration will be capped at 120 participants. For more information
