4heads_better_than_1So you are still wondering what you can do to get involved with APECS that won't take up too much of your time, but will give you practical career skills and give you the chance to meet other young researchers and senior mentors. Below is a list of a few ideas, but we always welcome more. Let us know if you have any suggestions.

One of the main 'activites' that APECS does is hosting mentor panels at conferences where early career polar researchers will be. These panels are quite simple to organize and allow you to invite some of those senior folks that you have always wanted to meet but didn't know how to approach them.  Download a guide on how to set up a mentor panel or contact us and we'll help you!

Working Groups

Besides these two great committees, APECS also has lots of projects happening. So if you are looking for a way to get more involved in APECS, this is a great place to start. Learn more about our Projects and Working Groups, how you can get involved or get an idea of yours off the ground with our help!

One of the great opportunities that APECS presents for young researchers is its ability to connect students of the same, or similar disciplines, as well as motivate students who might have an interest in broadening their academic spectrum into new fields of research. If you are looking for a way to connect with other people in your discipline or that are interested in the same topics as you are - we suggest you subscribe to one of the APECS discussion lists. This is still a new project for us, so if you have ideas on new lists and are willing to help moderate them, please let us know. Find out which lists already exist, what they are used for and how to join them!

Education and Outreach

One of the most important things we can do as early career scientists is share our exciting work with students, policy makers and the general public. If you are looking for ideas, advice and training in outreach, check out the great work our Education and Outreach Committee is doing and see how you can get involved!
