What is the Virtual Poster Session

Share posters you have presented at other conferences, carry on discussions, get feedback from senior researchers in the field and also find new collaborators.

This effort focuses on bringing the concept of the poster presentation beyond the four walls of the conference hall and creates an online database of polar research poster publications. This project allows members with similar goals and interests to exchange information and assures a platform for the exchange of Arctic, Antarctic and Cryospheric research, policy, and education activities that are Shaping the Future of Polar Research. APECS is leading an effort towards e-conferences among polar researchers where participants can present their research findings to an international audience through web-based settings using the APECS website.

You can view some of our previous online sessions as well as watch a short tutorial video on how to join a live session or what its like to be a presenter.

The purpose of this virtual poser session is to:

Allow researchers to permanently display their posters to reach a greater audience than in regular conference settings.
Encourage new partnerships and collaborations that reach beyond discipline, country and the people at a conference where you presented
Give you an additional venue to present your work and share your ideas
Establish an online resource of polar research findings from IPY related research and beyond which can also be used by educators.

Why participate in the APECS Virtual Poster Session?

Your work will have a permanent website presence, complete with a url that you can use on your resume so that future employers can review it.
New contributions to the Virtual Poster Session will be listed in our monthly newsletter, increasing the number of people that see your work to well over 1000 APECS members and other researchers around the world.
