Association of Polar Early Career Scientists

 

uit npi rcnAPECS is excited to announce that the funding for our APECS International Directorate in Tromsø has been renewed till the end of 2016!

This was made possible through generous contributions by the University of Tromsø, the Norwegian Polar Institute as well as a successful application for partial support to the Research Council of Norway!

The University of Tromsø is the northernmost university of the world. Research and studies offered at the university focus on Arctic and northern issues: marine science, biomedicine, telemedicine, physics, linguistics, multiculturalism and research related to the Saami and indigenous people. The university contributes to the national Norwegian diversity of basic scientific research and for some research areas it shall be among the best international actors. - http://uit.no

The Norwegian Polar Institute is Norway's central institution for scientific research, environmental monitoring and mapping of the polar regions. The Institute is the Norwegian authorities' consultant and supplier of knowledge, and contributes to the best possible administration of Norwegian polar areas. Through active participation in national and international bodies, the Norwegian Polar Institute is central when it comes to protecting national interests in matters of research and the environment. - http://npolar.no

The Research Council of Norway promotes basic and applied research and innovation in order to help meet research needs within society. It also works actively to encourage international research cooperation. Underlying all the Research Council's activities is the viewpoint that research expands the boundaries of what we know, understand and can achieve. Research adds cultural resonance to society and creates a viable framework for welfare, value creation and sustainable development, Through its efforts as an advisory body on research strategy issues, a research funding agency and initiator of meeting places and networks, the Research Council seeks to meet and constantly refine the objectives for Norwegian research policy. - http://rcn.no 

APECS is very thankful for this opportunity to continue shaping the future of polar research in the coming years!
