This conference will engage scientific dialogues between early career scientist from multiple disciplines and backgrounds on new research perspectives in their field of research. With increased attention on the changing polar environment and the future challenges this will bring, this conference aims to convey the broad range of new research currently being conducted internationally. Therefore, we would like to draw attention to polar researchers of this opportunity to share their current research findings. We would particularly like abstracts submitted by early career scientists, in order that they gain invaluable experience presenting their research projects to the public. There will be a $300 prize given for best presentation at this conference which has been donated by APECS. Session Themes

"Explorador polar britânico partilha emoções das viagens aos polos Foi um dos convidados internacionais da 6ª Conferência Polar portuguesa. Antony Jinman, explorador polar britânico, já fez 16 expedições ao Ártico e à Antártida. Este ano esquiou sozinho mais de 1300 quilómetros até ao Pólo Sul geográfico, em apenas 47 dias, e interagiu com mais de 8 mil alunos de 63 escolas. O objetivo deste aventureiro, que falou com a SIC no Porto, é inspirar os mais jovens a conhecer e conservar o mundo natural."
