Polar Early Career World Summit Online Engagement Event #2

Help shape future polar research by providing input on polar early career priorities
From 22–24 March 2025, 120 polar early career researchers (ECRs) gathered for the Polar Early Career World Summit (PECWS) and developed 12 vision statements, 75 priorities, and 186 reasonings and actions. This material will guide international priority setting and coordination processes in polar research, like the 4th International Conference on Arctic Research Planning and the International Polar Year 2032-2033.
To best represent the polar early career community, we need input from as many community members as possible. To achieve this, we are hosting virtual events, taking place 27–29 May (depending on your time zone). These interactive sessions are specifically for ECRs who weren’t physically at PECWS.
The virtual events will provide you with:
- An overview of PECWS and the polar early career community priority synthesis process
- An opportunity to assess materials produced at the summit, specifically by providing live feedback on priority statements and their relevance to you and your work
- An understanding of the synthesis products you are contributing to
In tandem with the virtual events, we are releasing a form to provide written feedback on polar early career priorities. In this form, you can comment on the existing visions and priorities and identify missing ideas. We strongly encourage those that are interested to both attend a virtual event and fill out the form. However, we welcome form submissions from all polar early career community members.
Help us make sure the global polar ECR community is fully represented. Join us virtually and fill out the priority input form!

FAQ for virtual PSECCO-hosted events
All participants are expected to follow PSECCO’s community guidelines throughout the entirety of the event.
We highly encourage participants to have a working camera that is on during events, as it allows for better engagement. However, a camera is not a requirement to attend PSECCO events unless otherwise stated in the event description.
- Many of the events that we host are recorded. All recorded events are made available after the event on the Center for Education, Engagement and Evaluation (CEEE)’s YouTube channel in a PSECCO playlist to be viewed, within approximately one week of the event. All relevant links/resources are also made available after the event.
- Some of the events that we host heavily rely on real-time engagement or are discussion-based. These events are often not recorded. People will benefit most from these events if they attend them in their entirety.
- If you arrive late at an event, tech support will still be able to let you in up to 15-minutes into the event. After that time, no new attendees will be admitted, as we design our events to build upon the content foundation that is built at the start.
If you know that you can’t attend the event anymore, please cancel your registration by emailing psecco@colorado.edu no later than 48 hours before the event. This enables those who may be waitlisted to attend the event and also helps the PSECCO team accurately plan for the event.
- Upon registering for an event, you will receive a confirmation email from Constant Contact with a meeting link.
- We send pre-event reminder emails 2 weeks, 1 week, and 1 day prior to the event. The meeting link is hyperlinked in each of these reminder emails.
- If you are unable to access the meeting link through these methods, please email psecco@colorado.edu no later than 24 hours before the event.
