We are excited to announce some changes in our network of (board)members. With the expanded capacity, unique expertise, and skills, we are able to be more active, engaged, and available for the APECS members.

We have four new members joining the board. We welcome Yousra Makanse, Mareike Bach, Youri Renkema, and Erika Varik to our board. You can find their board member and member pages on our website. Christian de Kleijn and Deborah Bozzato continue as board members.

Silja Zimmerman will leave the APECS NL board. She will remain our member. We’re thankful for her commitment and wish her the best of luck in her career steps!

We look forward to expanding our active community. With people from different fields and specializations, we hope to create a diverse group of Polar enthusiasts nationwide! Because this way we can connect early career polar scientists or those who are considering becoming one. Examples of our activities are socializing, networking for collaborations and study/work opportunities, learning from and about interdisciplinary polar sciences, and deepening one’s interest in the South and North pole.

Come and say hi to us at the Poolsymposium!
