Description
Parallel to the Arctic Frontiers Conference 2010 and in direct connection with the oral presentations, the Young Scientist Forum and the ARCTOS PhD School will organize an international workshop for PhD students interested in the pan-Arctic region.
This is an approved PhD level course (BIO-8512 – 2 ECTS) at the University of Tromsø, and consists of the conference itself, plus an intensive 5 days seminar after the conference.
During the seminar (which will take place in Tromsø and at the Skibotn Field station), the students work in discussion groups on given subjects related to the topics under Part III “Marine Biodiversity under change”. Senior scientists from the ARCTOS PhD School, as well as selected invited speakers from the conference will be present to ensure a good dialogue and progress in the discussions. Evaluation/exam: Powerpoint presentations of the student work at the end of the workshop.
Workshop participants must give a presentation (oral /poster) under Part III at the Arctic Frontiers Conference and follow both the political and the science part of Arctic Frontiers 2010 in addition to participating in the 5 day seminar.
