On November 5th, we will host the first WUR Polar Day, which aims to bring together researchers within WUR who are (partly) involved in polar research. We would also like to open up the invitation to students and staff interested in the polar regions. We aim to host an interesting, creative and community-building event for everyone within WUR who is passionate about polar research.
During the WUR Polar Day we hope to get to know the WUR polar research field better, identify opportunities and strategic themes, enhance our visibility and explore future plans for our network. We will also share what is currently going on in terms of polar research and activities at WUR within the wider university community, through posters, presentations, panels, stories and artwork.
If you are interested in joining, please register via the following link: https://forms.office.com/e/TFWRWTd37Y.
There are limited spots available; once we are at capacity, we will close the registration form.
