The new members will develop their activities between 2016 and 2018 aiming to motivate young polar scientists to study several aspects related to the polar environments, to promote international networks, and to develop polar research, education and outreach activities – which are the APECS-Brazil trademarks!

We are with our eyes in the future but honoured with our past successes. We are preparing a special conference in 2016 in Brasília, the Brazilian capital. Several challenges certainly will be faced including the current economic crises and the Aedes aegypti epidemic but we are convinced that another successful event is coming!
The International Polar weeks will occur in May and September here in Brazil. Once more the Antarctic and the Arctic environments will go into our children’s classrooms!
Finally, we invited all the polar scientific community to submit their articles in the Journal of Integrated Coastal Zone Management, an international journal that will produce an especial number dedicated to the theme: “Coasts, Oceans and the Cryosphere: Polar Science and the 25-years of the Madrid Protocol”. Are you going to miss this opportunity?
