Chemical, biogeochemical, and physical drivers of the coupled polar atmosphere and climate: The international  initiatives CATCH, PACES, BEPSII, ASPeCt and QUiesCENT will hold a joint workshop bringing together scientists and stakeholders with an interest in atmosphere-ice-ocean research focussing on chemical, biogeochemical and physical processes in the Arctic and Antarctic and links to climate change. Cold regions which are seasonally or permanently covered by snow and ice, notably the Third Pole, are also of interest.

Every autumn since 2010, the International Polar Foundation and its partners have organised a multinational, multidisciplinary and multi-stakeholder conference on the Arctic.

Held in Brussels and free of charge to make discussions on Arctic issues accessible to as many Arctic stakeholders as possible, the annual Arctic Futures Symposium brings together local and national policymakers, Arctic indigenous peoples, natural and social scientists, academics, and representatives of industries operating in or with interests in the Arctic.

Applications are open for the IASC Fellowship Program 2025. The IASC Fellowship Program is meant to engage early career researchers in the work of the IASC Working Groups, and a total of 9 Fellowships will be offered for 2025:

Il programma di Ricerca in Artico si basa su una programmazione strategica ed economica triennale, con l’elaborazione di un Programma triennale (PRA) e di Programmi Annuali (PA). L’elaborazione di PRA e PA è demandata al Comitato Scientifico per l’Artico, appositamente istituito, mentre alla loro attuazione provvede il CNR. La norma istitutiva del PRA ha previsto un primo stanziamento triennale di un milione di Euro l’anno.

Nei giorni 21, 22 e 23 ottobre 2024, il CNR ospiterà il NySMAC (Ny-Ålesund Science Managers Committee), il comitato responsabile della gestione delle basi di ricerca a Ny-Ålesund (Isole Svalbard - Artico). Oltre ai responsabili della Base Artica del CNR e della Kings Bay, che si occupa delle esigenze logistiche del villaggio di Ny-Ålesund, parteciperanno anche rappresentanti di diverse istituzioni di ricerca provenienti da Norvegia, Germania, India, Svezia, Corea, Cina e Giappone.

This a continuation of a popular series of SIOS workshops on marine infrastructure that began in 2020, and it offers the opportunity to connect with scientists working in the marine realm of Svalbard and learn more about Svalbard’s marine infrastructure. This workshop will present marine infrastructures and time series around Svalbard and will include an update on the Atlantic-Arctic Distributed Biological Observatory (A-DBO) as well as a presentation on the European Marine Biological Resource Centre. 

The EU funded project POLARIN invites the scientific community to submit proposals to access 49 Research Infrastructures (RIs) in both polar regions contributing to addressing the key research priorities.

Apply for accessing polar research infrastructures until the 28th of November 2024, 4 pm CET

POLARIN is an international network of polar research infrastructures and their services, aiming at addressing the scientific challenges of the polar regions. The network includes a wide array of complementary and interdisciplinary top level research infrastructures: Arctic and Antarctic research stations, research vessels and icebreakers operating at both poles, observatories, data infrastructures and ice and sediment core repositories.

The international workshop on Microplastic emergency and the associated plastisphere in freshwater habitats of the Arctic will last in two days. The workshop has been endorsed by the International Arctic Science Committee (IASC) and received financial support by the Italian Arctic Research Program (PRA)
 

Funded by SIOS and hosted by the Institute of Polar Sciences, National Research Council (CNR), Messina (Italy), the 1st International Workshop on Biodiversity in Svalbard Archipelago aims at being a multidisciplinary arena where to discuss the state of the art and the gaps in the knowledge on Arctic biodiversity, and the way for future development in the studies of this vulnerable polar environment.
