Association of Polar Early Career Scientists

 

The Science Day at Arctic Science Summit Week (ASSW) 2026 on 29 March 2026 will bring together researchers, Indigenous knowledge holders, and Arctic stakeholders to share recent advances in Arctic science. This one-day event will feature parallel thematic sessions reflecting the five IASC Working Group themes: Atmosphere, Cryosphere, Marine, Social & Human, and Terrestrial, along with a dedicated Indigenous-led Research and Knowledge Co-production session and one session showcasing Cross-disciplinary research.

A defining feature of the 2026 Science Day is the emphasis on early career researchers: all oral presentations, apart from the keynote, will be delivered by ECRs. This ensures the programme elevates the perspectives and contributions of the next generation of Arctic researchers, including scientists, community members, and other knowledge holders.

Because Science Day is a single-day event, the number of oral presentation slots will be very limited. Abstracts not selected for oral presentation will automatically be considered for a poster presentation.

The abstract submission deadline is on 14 November 2025.
