Open and Closed Sessions- HYBRID
Room: Preben Hornungstuen
Organiser: Gareth Rees (Scott Polar Research Institute, University of Cambridge, UK)
Session Description:
Task Groups of the International Polar Year have been set up by the IPY Planning Group to help develop strategy, and they report back to the IPY Executive Committee. This meeting is intended to help Task Group 4 develop strategy around capacity-building and early career development, for both Arctic and Antarctic. The hybrid meeting will be in two parts: an open session where anyone with an interest can contribute, and a closed session where the Task Group itself can work on the IPY strategy. Likely sub-themes are: Polar Scientist Careers, Educators, Careers after the IPY, Capacity needs in polar communities and globally (where related to polar regions). However, these will no doubt evolve over time.
