SUMMARY:APECS International Online Conference 2020
LOCATION:Worldwide\, Online
DESCRIPTION:The Association of Polar Early Career Scientists (APECS) is proud to announ
 ce the much awaited 6th annual APECS International Online Conference to go 
 live on 20 May 2020. This year’s theme, "Opening Doors: Collaboration acros
 s knowledge systems" aims to encourage collaboration between early career r
 esearchers, science communicators, educators, and local community members i
 n polar and alpine regions. \nThe 6th edition of the APECS International On
 line Conference will focus on knowledge exchange among multidisciplinary sc
 ientists, local communities, educators and science communicators. In a fast
  changing world, we believe it is important to pair traditional knowledge, 
 education, and outreach with science efforts to better understand present a
 nd future challenges to the polar regions. This sort of comprehensive appro
 ach is best achieved by incorporating knowledge from a diverse array of dis
 ciplines and perspectives and is especially important for guiding policy-ma
 king. Through this conference, we hope to gain a better understanding of th
 e many ways that Indigenous knowledge, science communication, and art can b
 enefit our research. With this, APECS calls for early career researchers, s
 cience communicators and educators to come forward with a short presentatio
 n outlining their approach for promoting collaboration in polar science. Th
 is year’s conference will also introduce online breakout chat rooms through
  the Zoom platform, to foster interactions between presenters and attendees
  and to enable future collaboration. Within our team, we have science commu
 nication experts that will assist as facilitators in these chats.\nAbstract
