| Summary: | The Permafrost Young Researchers Network (PYRN) is an international organization that fosters collaboration amongst its members and seeks to recruit, retain, and promote future generations of permafrost researchers. PYRN began as an IPY initiative in close collaboration with APECS and with its overarching organization, the International Permafrost Association (IPA). PYRN seeks to increase global awareness, understanding, and action in relation to permafrost in a changing climate. Our main goal is to provide a common forum to communicate and exchange ideas related to permafrost science and engineering. This includes coordinating activities such as workshops, meetings, and awards to encourage PYRN members to share knowledge and expertise on permafrost-related topics. PYRN leadership consists of an Executive Committee (led by a President; currently Alexandre Nieuwendam) and a Council. One member from the Executive Committee jointly serves on the APECS Open Council. |
