We are inviting all APECS members to join our activities as members of our Project Groups! This is one of the easiest ways to get more involved in APECS and to contribute in a way that is best suited to your interests and skills. Hosting meetings, taking notes, research, writing, graphic design, social media posting, sending emails - these are just a few examples of the ways you can contribute to APECS project groups.
Project groups are working groups of APECS that are led by Council members. Some of the groups have been run over many years while others are newly developing. The duration of APECS project groups is usually for the full term 1 October 2022 - 30 September 2023, but temporary and event-based project groups may be of shorter duration. If you want to apply for more than one project group, you must fill out the application form multiple times. However, we recommend that you dedicate yourself to one or potentially two groups in order to contribute in a meaningful way. Project Group Leaders will evaluate your application and the APECS International Directorate will inform you of the result and provide you with more information.
We are offering the opportunity to join the following project groups for the remainder of the 2022-2023 term - we hope you will join in! You can read full descriptions for all of these groups here. Please fill out this form by 22 May to apply for being a project group member. We strongly encourage everyone who is interested to apply during this application period, but late applications may be considered if the project group has capacity for additional members.
