The Finnish-Japanese early career arctic scientists (ECASs) workshop is organized by the Association of Polar Early Career Scientists (APECS) Finland and APECS Japan. It aims to shed lights on career planning and international collaboration for ECASs in Japan and Finland.
(We kindly ask you to register on the doodle poll to be able to get the name badge from the reception and enter the venue. This is also necessary for the preparation of coffee and refreshments. We also encourage you to bring your own posters for a casual poster session.)
