Welcome to the UK Polar Network website. We are a committee of early career polar researchers that was founded as part of the 2007-2009 International Polar Year (IPY) and are the UK branch of the Association of Polar Early Career Scientists (APECS). You can find out more about who we are and what we do by exploring our website. If there is anything you cannot find or would like further information, then drop us an email at info (at) polarnetwork.org | |

DEADLINE EXTENDED UNTIL THE 25TH JAN 2010!! The IPY Oslo Science Conference, taking place 8-12 June 2010 in Oslo, Norway, is the major IPY Conference, a brilliant opportunity to show off your polar science whether it's part of an IPY project or not. The IPY Oslo Conference also sets a precedent for the involvement of early career scientists at all levels of the conference and the activities during the event. APECS is coordinating the activities, and of course UKPN members are involved too! Spread the word so that this becomes the highlight of the year!
The submission deadline for abstracts is the 20th January 2010, so get your abstracts in!! To submit, go to this webpage: http://www.ipy-osc.no/section/1257865053.48. There is plenty of support available for early career scientists (reduced registration fees, accommodation, Oslo stipends, travel fellowships), all of it tied to abstract submission. Any question regarding the application process, don't hesitate to contact us!
We would like to use this opportunity to highlight some of the sessions UKPN members are (co-)organising and show you what else there is for early career scientists.
Sessions with UKPN (or UK based APECS) conveners (apologies if I forgot anybody!):
APECS activities during the conference: APECS Reception - speed dating with potential mentors APECS Lounge - in the middle of everything! THE meeting point of the conference Awards for outstanding presentations and posters
Some important deadlines: 20 January 2010 Conference Abstract Submission Deadline Early Career Researcher Programme Application Deadline Application includes Oslo Stipend, Travel Fellowships and the APECS Professional Development Workshop 20 February 2010 Abstract Acceptance Notification Date 25 February 2010 Notification of Oslo Stipend Awards 1 March 2010 Notification of Acceptance in APECS Workshop 5 March 2010 Deadline to Confirm Stipend Acceptance 8 March 2010 Stipend Recipients Conference Registration Deadline

The first workshop of 2010 in the UKPN Career Skills Workshop series is scheduled to be held at the University of Leeds on the 8th and 9th April, 2010. The focus of the workshop is on understanding the evolution of Polar climates from deep-time to the present day in terms of ice-atmosphere-ocean interactions. Additionally we aim to discuss how Polar climates are likely to evolve in the future. |
