Interested in polar or alpine research? Then you have come to the right place! We are the German National Committee of the Association of Polar Early Career Scientists (APECS).
As a voluntary group of young polar researchers and enthusiasts we aim to create a vivid community for students, researchers, educators and others with interests in the wider cryosphere. We organise opportunities for career development, promote education and outreach and are committed to making the polar sciences a welcoming and inclusive place for all. It is free and easy to join our community!
