The Association of Polar Early Career Scientists (APECS) started as part of the International Polar Year (IPY) efforts to involve early career researchers in international polar science. As we continue to grow, we want to make sure that we are meeting the needs of our members.
So it is time for APECS to do some self-reflection. We want to find out what the polar community values and how APECS can continue to be a positive and productive force. If you haven't been involved in APECS, we very much value your impartial opinion. If you have been involved in APECS, we want to understand what you use on our website, if you attend workshops, seminars and the other activities we organize together, and how these have benefited you.
For these purposes we kindly ask you to complete the survey – https://docs.google.com/a/apecs.is/forms/d/1a83gPkcBbvkM9Mie8xmyTEIv7GMSLx2248eFYeOb9vk/viewform . The survey will be open until 3 April 2015.
The survey should take ~15 minutes. Please be honest and complete with your answers as the APECS leadership will use these results to help shape how we can better address the needs of polar early career researchers. All survey results will remain anonymous and confidential, and they will only be used by APECS for this self-evaluation process.
