ArCS II International Early Career Researchers Program - Call for Applications

The Arctic Challenge for Sustainability II (ArCS II) project invites applications for their International Early Career Researchers Program.

As a priority program of the ArCS II project, this call for applications invites a wide range of International Early Career Researchers from the Arctic and non-Arctic countries who are engaged in Arctic research and supports their research, by providing financial support for mid- to long-term travel and stay at universities and research institutions in Japan. At the same time, this project aims to revitalize mutual exchange between Arctic researchers in Japan and early career researchers overseas and strengthen the cooperative system for international joint research.

The Mohn Prize 2024 – Call for nominations

The International Mohn Prize for Outstanding Research Related to the Arctic (Mohn Prize) welcomes nominations for 2024. The Mohn Prize is a collaborative effort of UiT The Arctic University of Norway, Academia Borealis – The Academy of Sciences and Letters of Northern Norway, and Tromsø Research Foundation in close collaboration with Arctic Frontiers.

The Mohn Prize aims to set central issues for the further development of the Arctic on the national and international agenda by rewarding outstanding scientific performances. The prize is 2 million NOK (approximately 180 000 Euros).

Nominees for the prize will be evaluated by an international scientific committee. The recipient of the Mohn Prize will be announced in autumn 2023, and the award ceremony will take place at Arctic Frontiers in Tromsø in early 2024. Tromsø is an important European hub for international research, economic development and political debate in the Arctic region.  

Deadline for nominations is 31st July 2023.

More information on the prize and how to nominate can be found at www.mohnprize.no/nominations.

AGI seeking Early-Career Webinar Speakers

The American Geosciences Institute (AGI) is looking for early-career geoscience professionals to present (individually or as part of a panel) in a one-hour webinar as part of a series focusing on mapping. AGI will be hosting a series of webinars over the next year in which early-career geoscience professionals will share their work and will be compensated for their time. The intended audience of each webinar is high schoolers. Those who participate will act as “near peer” communicators about technologies and techniques related to mapping and geoscience careers in general. If you would like to be considered, please fill out this Google Form (https://forms.gle/hqnCCfpJ2V8AzTDJ9).

Call for new members of the International Commission on Polar Meteorology

The International Commission on Polar Meteorology (ICPM) is a focus group for research into the meteorology and climatology of the Arctic and Antarctic. It is one of the ten commissions of the International Association of Meteorology and Atmospheric Sciences (IAMAS), which is in turn part of the International Union of Geodesy and Geophysics (IUGG). You can find out more about ICPM here: https://www.iamas.org/icpm/ where you can also find our statutes.
