This month I would like to highlight the upcoming Arctic Frontiers 2014 conference here in Tromsø, Norway, from 19 - 24 January 2014 with the theme "Humans in the Arctic". APECS is again a partner of the conference this year and one of the main contributor to its Young Scientist Forum activities. We are planning several activities in cooperation with Arctic Frontiers during the week of the conference so those of you who are planning to attend Arctic Frontiers 2014 keep watching our Arctic Frontiers page or go directly to the Young Scientist Forum. Here is what is planned so far:
- a Science Communication and Media Training Workshop on 19 January
- a fun Networking Reception "Arctic Games" organised together with the Fram Centre in Tromsø.
- a "Finding Funding and Proposal Writing" Workshop on 24 January
Registration for the Science Communication and Media Training Workshop will start this week and space is limited. So make sure to sign up quickly if you want to attend. To register for the workshop please go to the APECS Arctic Frontiers page. All other events are open to anyone interested!
APECS is also organising the poster awards for the conference! So keep in mind when you are presenting a poster, that all posters of early career researchers are eligible to win an award!
For those of you needing financial support to attend the conference, Arctic Frontiers is offering a limited amount of funding to support the participation and accommodation for young researchers attending the conference. To apply for funding you need to have an abstract (oral or poster presentation) accepted at the conference. Applications should include you name, affiliation and a short CV and sent to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
I'm looking forward to seeing some of you here in January!
