Anyone can become a Polar scientistwith the right network

The UK Polar Network organises skill development workshops and education and outreach opportunities for early career polar research scientists. We are committed to making the polar sciences a welcoming and inclusive place for all. We have over 400 members and form the UK National Committee of APECS International, which has over 5500 members in 55 different countries.

Education & Outreach

Every science can be a polar science, so the UKPN brings the poles to the classroom. We organise events that allow young people to learn more about life and research in polar regions and highlight that a polar career is a possibility for anyone.

Events & Workshops

The UKPN volunteers organise workshops, conferences, and even field trips. These events help early-career researchers in their journey into, and right to the top of, polar science.

Equality, Diversity & Inclusion

Diversity of perspectives results in better science. We are working to make polar science a welcoming, and inclusive place for all, regardless of race, sexuality, gender, disability status, culture or background.
