Please write a summary of the activities and projects of your National Committee (max. 1 page) Since 2009, the Brazilian National Committee from APECS-­‐Brazil develops several activities to promote interdisciplinary research as well as international cooperation. It also brings polar and marine science closer to elementary and high school students and society as a whole, in order to spread information on importance of these environments and mainly to stimulate future generations of polar and marine researchers. We have some activities fixed in our calendar, some of them (e.g. Polar Week, Photo Exhibitions and Lectures) are developed throughout the year and others take place every two years (e.g. Workshops and Symposiums). Polar Week: Currently we have reached the "XII International Polar Week" and the "II Workshop on Career Development" which took place in October in Southern Brazil. More than a dozen researchers from Brazil and Portugal developed activities with more than 700 elementary and high school students, watched by 40 thousand students from more than 30 schools of Brazil and abroad. APECS-­‐Brazil Symposium: We are on our III APECS-­‐Brazil Symposium. The last one took place in September/2014 “APECS-­‐Brazil Symposium: Integrating the Scientific Community from Pole to Pole". Researchers from Brazil, the United States, Spain, Portugal, Chile, Argentina and England, gave twenty talks being five broadcasted live on internet. Short courses and poster presentation were also included in the event. One of the innovations of the III APECS-­‐Brazil Symposium was to promote the participation of educators from all over Brazil as guests of the event. Teachers from all over Brazil were able to integrate the event as participants and learn more about the reality of Brazilian polar science. Project Photo Exhibition Brazil/Portugal: Glances over a Frozen Continent were composed by 25 pictures from Brazilian-­‐ECS and 10 pictures from ECS from APECS-­‐
Portugal. The exhibition was scheduled to be itinerant, and may occur in different environments as we provide five copies of the pictures. Schools, events and other places may require exposure and the only need to send back to APECS-­‐Brazil a small report with number of visitors and photos of the exhibition. As product the APECS-­‐Brazil produces a Catalogue of the Exhibition Glances over a Frozen Continent which is distributed to public schools throughout Brazil. Project PEEP: In 2013 APECS-­‐Brazil launched the long term project Researcher-­‐
Educator and Educator-­‐Researcher Training Program (PEEP Project). The main objective is integrating researchers and educators by training workshops in scientific research and outreach activities in order to encourage formation of the future leader generation in science and education in Brazil. Initially the PEEP project investigated the knowledge about the poles of educators, researchers and students involved in the proposal through an initial evaluation questionnaire. Analysis of the responses was the basis for the definition of the working groups that are developing activities to be implemented in the classroom in order to promote the discovery of the poles. 5.
