Description
The New Generation Polar Research (NGPR) Symposium will catalyze formation of a vibrant, international and interdisciplinary community of polar researchers working collectively to extend polar research frontiers across the natural and social sciences and communicate their research to non-specialist audiences. The symposium will provide a venue where newly minted Ph.D. graduates can learn from each other and from veteran polar scientists who took part in the 1957/58 International Geophysical Year; share ideas and techniques for educational outreach; expand their historical, scientific and professional outlook; and forge lifelong, interdisciplinary collegial relationships with their peers. During the week-long event:
* NGPR scholars will present their research in plenary format (both oral and poster);
* International Geophysical Year (IGY) veteran scientists and other experienced polar scholars will provide an historical overview and context for the IPY and a vision for the future of polar research; and
* Communication skills will be developed in the context of working across disciplines and transmitting the goals of the International Polar Year (IPY) and the excitement of polar research beyond the ivory towers
Then NGPR symposium is also part of the larger IPY at University of the Arctic.
When will the NGPR be held?
The NGPR will be held May 4-11, 2008.
Where will the NGPR be held?
The NGPR will be held at La Foret Conference Center in Colorado Springs, CO.
