The Association of Polar Early Career Scientists (APECS) is a worldwide association of early career scientists (undergraduate and graduate students, postdocs, and early career faculties) actively involved in the cryosphere and polar regions research. Its mission is to raise the profile of young scientists by providing professional development opportunities, that is both internationally and interdisciplinary focused, and to stimulate collaborative projects. One of the main APECS objectives is to diversify the nationality of their members; therefore the creation of national Committees is a priority within the main directress of the organization. The Chilean Chapter of APECS has been established in 2007, is presently runned by the authors of this poster.
