SUMMARY:ARCTOS PhD Workshop 2020
LOCATION:Svolvær\, Lofoten\, Norway
DESCRIPTION:<p>The ARCTOS research network invites PhD candidates to a student workshop
  offering an exciting program for early career scientists working on issues
  related to the Arctic. The workshop is taking place January 26<sup>th</sup
 >&nbsp;to February 4<sup>th</sup>&nbsp;2020 in conjunction with the Arctic 
 Frontiers conference and continues afterwards in Svolvær, Lofoten. As part 
 of the workshop, participants have to attend the Arctic Frontiers conferenc
 e and give a presentation (oral or poster) during the science section of th
 e conference.</p><p>After the conference, the students will embark on a 5-d
 ay seminar to Svolvær, Lofoten, during which they will attend 10-15 lecture
 s covering proposal writing, political science, social science, marine ecol
 ogy and climate, local art, and arctic entrepreneurship. Students will also
  prepare a proposal for funding to an imaginary research grant. During the 
 workshop, there will be also some cultural events (visiting art gallery, mu
 seum, etc.). The workshop is multidisciplinary and thus suitable for studen
 ts from all scientific fields.</p><p>One main goal of the workshop is netwo
 rking. During the conference and workshop, students can meet politicians, b
 usiness people and senior researchers as well as other early career scienti
 sts, which are all interested in Arctic issues. Together, the northern area
 s are facing possibilities and challenges related to the combination of cli
 mate change, globalization, and circumpolar problems such as oil and gas de
 velopment, pollution, public health, reduced biodiversity and loss of habit
 ats. An enormous challenge to handle. The idea behind this workshop is that
  the solution to the problems ahead lies in the synergy that emerges from i
 nternational networks, cross-disciplinary cooperation and dialogue.</p><p>P
 hD students are prioritized but Master students and Post-docs may apply as 
 well. The workshop is an official PhD level course (<a href="https://uit.no
