On the afternoon of January 20th, APECS Sweden held a successful career day. Around 35 graduate students from Stockholm University came together to hear advice from leaders from government, academia, and industry; all of whom had all started out in polar science. Through a series of talks and informal discussions, participants we given advice on how to be successful in a range of fields.
We were also fortunate to have the new director of the Swedish polar secretariat, Björn Dahlbäck, join us for the afternoon, and share ideas about how APECS Sweden can be successful in the future. APECS Sweden was invited by Björn to hold an event at the annual Swedish Polar meeting, held in Ånn in week 16 (April 19-24).
