APECS Oceania Winter Series: Next Steps in Your Polar Journey
What’s your next move? Maybe you’re looking at a Master’s degree, PhD or international postdoc position. Or perhaps you’re playing with other options - policy work, naturalist guiding on tourist ships or writing books for kids!
Making decisions can be tough, but we don’t have to do it alone. The APECS Oceania community is filled with students, researchers and polar professionals at various stages of their polar journey, with a wealth of experience to share.
Join us to share your questions, throw around some ideas and tap into the collective wisdom in our interactive workshop on Thursday, 21 July from 10:30 AEST/12:30 NZST for a 1 hour catch up.
