Early career researchers involved with different types of research in the Arctic and Antarctic were able to discuss research ideas with one another and form partnerships for future scientific collaboration.

We are the polar scientists of tomorrow (and today) and we all have ideas we’d like to put into action.

To get a feel for some of the questions motivating young polar scientists, have a look at this video. I simply asked each workshop participant to tell me (in one sentence!) what they hope to understand through their research.
