The Association of Polar Early Career Scientists is an organisation that aims to stimulate interdisciplinary and international research collaborations, in addition to developing effective future leaders in polar research, education and outreach.
Get involved!Last Thursday (23rd May) we had our first workshop for this year: APECS Sweden workshop “Exploring the frontiers of Antarctic research in Sweden”. Ca. 15 participants from University of Gothenburg, Stockholm University and other universities gathered at the Department of Earth Sciences in Gothenburg and had an interdisciplinary workshop about research in Antarctica with talks …
APECS Sweden in cooperation with the Swedish Polar Research Secretariat (SPRS) brings together early-career polar researchers and Swedish Antarctic researchers to discuss where the research frontiers in their field lie, how to take them further and combine them with those in other disciplines – as well as what is the social relevance of these endeavors.
During this workshop, the experts from the Grants and Innovation Office at Gothenburg University teach us how to give our grant applications the competitive edge. Join us!
At our annual meeting in Gothenburg on November 8, APECS Sweden elects its next executive secretary and steering committee members for 2019.
Our Polar Week activities are social events for people interested in Polar and Alpine science to meet, interact and exchange ideas. We hope to see you there!
