APECS Switzerland is organizing a one-day symposium on polar research, the “Swiss Polar Day” that will take place in Zürich on September 7th 2017. The symposium will take place in anticipation of the International Polar Week in September and be hosted by the Swiss Federal Institute for Forest, Snow and Landscape Research WSL.
The symposium will provide a broad overview on all Polar research topics taking place universities/ institutions in Switzerland. Representatives of Swiss universities or research institution will present their university's’ activities in Polar research, inform about research platforms and future plans in Polar research, such as planned expeditions or projects.
The first (largest) part of the day is planned around presentation sessions open for the larger interested public. The second part of the day is reserved for a round table and networking event of the representatives of the universities/ institutes.
We invite you all to invite you all to participate in the presentation sessions of the Swiss Polar Day in September 2017 in Zürich. We also like to encourage you to extend the invitation to your colleagues in Switzerland.
