We invite Early Career Researchers (ECRs) to present their Polar research in a friendly environment. We also invite anyone, of any academic or professional background, who is curious or passionate about Polar research to attend.

This conference has been organised with the support of the UK Polar Network (https://polarnetwork.org/)

This two-day online conference will highlight the work of ECRs within Polar Science from a range of disciplines and institutions. This is the first UK Polar ECR conference and is tailored towards this community. The conference will focus on the high-quality science produced by ECRs and the contemporary issues Polar ECRs are facing. The scientific talks will be divided in to five streams which will run parallel throughout the conference:

-                  Ecosystems

-                  Oceanography 

-                  Geology and Glaciology

-                  Atmosphere and Climate

-                  Social Sciences

In addition to scientific talks and posters, there will be a strong emphasis on careers & employability, as well as discussing the future of UK Polar science. This will include:

-                  Employability workshops for careers both in and out of academia.

-                  A session dedicated to improving collaboration with Indigenous communities.

-                  A panel discussing the future of UK polar science with specific emphasis on the impacts of Brexit, COVID-19 and the UN Decade of Ocean Science.
