Il 20 gennaio, SIOS ha pubblicato il suo 7° rapporto sullo Stato delle Scienze Ambientali alle Svalbard: il SESSreport.

Il report, a cui hanno partecipato autori provenienti da 70 istituzioni internazionali, è articolato in 12 capitoli che riportano studi sui processi ambientali nel suolo, nell’oceano, nella tundra e nell’atmosfera. Quest'anno è forte la presenza italiana, con autori principali provenienti, dall’ Università di Firenze, Stazione Zoologica Anton Dohrn , dal CNR ISP e dall’ OGS.

I temi trattati nel rapporto di quest'anno includono:

The European Polar Board (EPB) is a leading independent organization dedicated to  advancing strategic priorities in Arctic and Antarctic research. EPB brings together European  research institutes, logistics operators, funding agencies, and governmental ministries to  promote collaboration in polar science and inform policymakers. 

The EGU General Assembly 2025 brings together geoscientists from all over the world to one meeting covering all disciplines of the Earth, planetary, and space sciences. The EGU aims to provide a forum where scientists, especially early career researchers, can present their work and discuss their ideas with experts in all fields of geoscience.

Science and knowledge underpin all activities, events and projects at Arctic Frontiers. The Arctic Frontiers team work year-round with scientific partners and collaborators, for evidence-based discussions and decisions.

At Arctic Frontiers 2025: Beyond Borders, there will be seven science themes. These represent the latest developments in Arctic research and span the physical and social sciences, as well as technological developments and innovative methods.

Each theme is co-organised by a session committee and led by scientists from our partner organisations.

The SIOS online conference is a biennial event providing a forum for those engaged in Earth System Science in Svalbard to network and share their latest results.

SIOS Knowledge Centre and the SIOS Remote Sensing Working Group invite abstract submissions from anyone involved in Earth System Science research in Svalbard including remote sensing, fieldwork and modeling. Abstract submission closes: Extended Mon 30th September 2024.

This is one of the first international conferences dedicated to a holistic view of Arctic emergency management. The conference will provide a platform for discussions, information exchange and advancing work on emergency management in the Arctic. It will highlight the importance and interconnectedness of different aspects of emergency prevention, preparedness and response in the Arctic.

The 15th Symposium on Polar Science hosted by the National Institute of Polar Research (NIPR), Tokyo, Japan, will be held from 3 to 5 December 2024. The NIPR is organizing this annual symposium to present and promote a wide variety of polar scientific research and interdisciplinary studies. We look forward to your active participation. The symposium will include both oral and poster sessions. Oral sessions will be conducted in a hybrid format, allowing in-person and online participation. Poster sessions will be held exclusively on-site at the symposium venue.

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:
