Conferences, workshops and summer schools that might be of interest to early career researchers:
The last two millennia Paleoclimate Reconstruction (PR) Challenge is now "live" and available for participation. The "Challenge" is designed to engage the scientific PR community in examining its methods in a common framework for the purpose of evaluating their relative strengths and weaknesses.
Abstract submission is now open for the PAGES co-sponsored workshop on Climate Change in the Carpathian-Balkan Region during the Pleistocene & Holocene (9-12 June, Suceava, Romania).

This newsletter issue compiles the latest information on climate and impacts during the Medieval Climate Anomaly (MCA) at global and regional scales. It also provides information on recently held meetings and upcoming events.
The Antarctic Science International Bursary
Awards of up to £5000, made annually to support the development of the careers of promising young scientists, working in any field of Antarctic science. The purpose of the award is to broaden the scope of an existing research project, especially for postdoctoral studies.
The purpose of the programme is to provide opportunities to post-doctoral researchers from Sub-Saharan Africa to conduct, under the guidance of their host institutions, cooperative research at a German university or other research institutions. DAAD is offering approximately 10 Fellowships in 2011.
