Advanced students and PhD graduates conducting research in the Arctic or
Antarctic during the International Polar Year are invited to apply for
the New Generation of Polar Researchers (NGPR) Symposium being held on
4-11 May 2008 in Colorado Springs, Colorado.
Applications must be submitted by Monday, 15 October 2007. Complete
application information is available at:
http://www.disccrs.org/ngpr/apply.html
Scholars from the full range of natural and social sciences are
eligible. While the focus is on the U.S. system with preference given
for American citizens and U.S. residents, a few slots will be reserved
for citizens of any country who are residing outside the U.S. and
demonstrate interests in working with U.S. researchers. Applicants who
complete their degree between 1 January 2002 and 31 March 2009 are
eligible to apply.
Funded by the National Science Foundation through Whitman College and
University of Colorado, the NGPR Symposium will consist of research
presentations and perspectives on the history and future of polar
research by International Geophysical Year veterans and other polar
experts. The symposium provides an open forum for discussions that will
lead to cross-fertilization of research ideas and techniques for
educational outreach. The net result should be expansion of
participants' historical, scientific, and professional outlook.
