Polar Week Activities around the World

EDUCATE is a European Reserchers’ Night project funded by the European Commission (EC) under HORIZON Europe in the framework of the Marie Sklodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA).

The Association of Polar Early Career Scientists of Colombia (APECS Colombia) and the Colombian Antarctic Program (PAC), join the international initiative of "Antarctic Flags". This time, the students of the Colegio San Patricio from Bogotá, Colombia, will receive information from Antarctica and will illustrate their flags inspired by the beauty and importance of the white continent, its flora, fauna, and the threats it faces. The researchers who will participate in the framework of the IX Antarctic Colombian Scientific Expedition will carry the flags in the next austral summer 2022-2023.

A virtual Pub Quiz, hosted by APECS Germany and APECS South Africa, with questions on polar research interests in both countries.
