Numerous international and interdisciplinary research projects are carried out in Svalbard every year. Projects include both senior and early career researchers (ECRs), some of whom may have never previously set foot on the archipelago. To foster cooperation among all scientists, it is essential to share information and data on the recent and future research conducted in Svalbard, as well as tips on accessibility, logistics and funding.
This free workshop will include talks from keynote speakers and participants. The day will conclude with a poster and networking session for all - we encourage all to contribute with a poster describing with your own Svalbard and Arctic research and/or interests!
Applications for travel support and registration have now closed but last minute attendees should email Grace (contact info below).
Lunch, coffee and evening tapas-style reception is provided during the 1-day workshop.
Organizers: APECS Norway, APECS Russia, UK Polar Network; and with administrative support from the Centre for Earth Evolution and Dynamics (CEED, UiO).
Funding: Norwegian Research Council through the Svalbard Science Forum.
