APECS Russia

APECS is a unique organization. It unites young scientists all over the World and gives them opportunity to communicate with well-known scientists. It is very important because getting such opportunity now is not very easy. Communication and fruitful collaboration can make magic. 

I want to be inside, to be aware of the events happening in the World. Especially if we are talking about the future of our Earth, and about the Arctic. 

The main strength of APECS is people: its Director, President, and members of the Council. I don`t want to be indifferent to solving such important problems. We should be strong to make APECS stronger and I am ready for it!

The role of young researches is great: young scientists see more – their eyes are opened they have the whole understanding of the World, they are not focused on something and have plenty ideas, they are very mobile.

It is very hard to say, how is it possible to make APECS better – I have participated in the meeting held in July in Saint Petersburg. I was really delighted with it: extremely interesting presentations and very useful.

I am writing my PhD now and I have to gather data in Arctic. This winter I was on board of Canadian RV “Amundsen” for 6 weeks, now I am going to participate in NABOS cruise (1 month), I have plenty of field work during the summer, I passed through all the exams with the highest marks, but I have to pass through English exam, now I am preparing for it. Why do I study Arctic? I was born with this idea. I feel responsibility for our planet for the things happening on it, especially then we are talking about fragile polar equilibrium.
