APECS will be organizing a workshop on "Goals of ICARP III – the future of Arctic research from the perspective of early career researchers" in Toyama, Japan in conjunction with the ASSW 2015 / ISAR-4 / ICARP III conference. The workshop is scheduled for Sunday, 26 April 2015.
The workshop aims to help early career researchers develop skills necessary for work and collaboration in the international and interdisciplinary area of polar research. It will also aim to identify the state of current knowledge and challenges associated with integrating Arctic systems and, most importantly, presenting novel ideas for future priorities of Arctic Research beyond its regional variability and across different research fields. The workshop will also look at the results of the some of the ICARP III projects conducted by APECS, the Arctic in Rapid Transition initiative (ART, http://www.iarc.uaf.edu/ART) and the Permafrost Young Researchers Network (PYRN, www.pyrn.org/) ).
The APECS workshop is the perfect way to start your international conference experience, as you will
- get to know early career scientists from all over the world,
- make first contact with senior scientists before the busy main conference starts,
- learn What's new, Who's who, and what do all those acronyms stand for, in polar science.
A preliminary workshop agenda is available on the APECS website at http://www.apecs.is/events/upcoming-event-highlights/assw-2015.html
We promise some cool guest speakers.
