Polar Early Career World Summit Synthesis Report
In March 2025, the Association of Polar Early Career Scientists (APECS) and the Polar Science Early Career Community Office (PSECCO) co-hosted the Polar Early Career World Summit (PECWS) in Boulder, Colorado, USA, alongside the Arctic Science Summit Week (ASSW) 2025 and Fourth International Conference on Arctic Research Planning (ICARP IV). The goal of this summit was to bring together individuals from the polar early career community from around the world and across disciplines to identify shared priorities for the polar community, with a particular focus on contributions to the ICARP IV process in 2025-2026 and the Fifth International Polar Year (IPY-5) in 2032-2033.

Drawing on the perspectives of 229 participants, the PECWS report synthesizes those priorities and shares reflections and learnings on the process, to inform future polar science policy, decision-making processes and community-led initiatives.

To show broad community support for the priorities outlined in this report, we're inviting individuals to add their endorsement through fall 2026. Please enter your name below to be added to the list of endorsers.
