IPY Oslo Stipend Application Update
Written by Polaradmin   
ipy-osc-logo_horisontalWow!  The interest in the IPY Oslo Science Conference has been amazing. We had over 850 applications for the Oslo Stipend Programme which includes reduced registration and lodging for early career researchers.

After initial screening, 650 people meet the eligibility requirements. These applications are currently being reviewed by the Stipend Review Committee. We hope to notify the 400 talented young researchers that will receive the stipends by 15 February.

We encourage all of you who are interested in attending the conference in June to begin to look for additional travel funds to help make sure you can attend the largest polar research conference to date.
 
Early Career Researcher Activities
Written by Polaradmin   
The IPY Oslo Science Conference has set a new precedent for the involvement of early career scientists and the activities available for young researchers to further their careers. APECS is very happy to be coordinating these activities and hopes that all our members consider attending the IPY conference.

Reduced registration fees, accomodation, awards and more are available to young researchers, but you have to submit an abstract for the conference. Even if you are early in your project, you are encouraged to submit an abstract on what you plan to do. Education and outreach abstracts are also highly encouraged. If you need help writing an abstract, here is some helpful information.

Activities and support for early career scientists include an APECS Professional Development workshop, a networking reception with senior mentors, awards for outstanding young researcher presentations, and financial assistance.There will be many added benefits for APECS members at this conference. If you are a member, log in and you will see extra tips and events dealing with this conference on these pages. If you are not a member, you should join.
