The United Kingdom Arctic and Antarctic Partnership (UKAAP) was established in 2014 as a community-led initiative to bring together researchers across a full range of disciplines who are interested in the polar regions. Although not a funding body it is tasked with ensuring that there is a strong and collective voice for polar research and encourages new engagement.
The Partnership is supported by a Steering Committee which relies on its voluntary membership for all its activity and engagement. Members generally serve a three year term, with the option of a second term. There are two in-person meetings a year and a small number of other ad hoc requests.
As per the UKAAP SC terms of reference, the Committee looks to refresh its membership by up to 1/3 each year. If you would like to nominate yourself or someone else, please complete the application form (link below) and send to the UKAAP Secretary at nalm@bas.ac.uk.
