The IPY International Early Career Researcher Symposium will bring together
arctic and Antarctic early career researchers with experts to build skills,
knowledge, and networks. The workshop is based around seven themes:
- Community-based research;
- Funding your ideas;
- Working with policy makers;
- Communicating your science;
- How do I get started in science?
- Data management; and
- Time management and work/life balance.
The training sessions will give concrete and useful advice, insight, and skills
to help early career researchers meet the demands of polar science. The
Symposium will also provide an unmatched opportunity to meet and collaborate
with fellow early career researchers, and build the networks that will
strengthen polar research in the future.
