UArctic maintains a listing of short, thematically-focused courses that provide field training for students and young researchers at unique locations across the Circumpolar North.
The UArctic Field School Calendar is maintained in partnership with APECS, the Association of Polar Early Career Scientists, who maintain a parallel listing.
Listed courses include some kind of field component (field training, field work, excursions) which defines the course as a field school. To submit a course to the UArctic Field School Calendar, or if you have questions related to arranging field schools, please contact fieldschool@uarctic.org.
