Registration

For registration, please fill in the Registration form through the online application below. You will be asked to upload your abstract as well - abstract requirements are specified below. 

How to contribute

The official language of the conference is English and all the contributions should be presented in English. We require that the first author of each contribution is a student or early-career scientist (less than 5 years after the PhD defence) who should also present her/his work personally. 

Topics

All topics covering the fields of geo- and biosciences concerning polar and alpine environment are welcome. We especially appreciate presentation of crosscutting themes and interdisciplinary studies. The conference is also intended to enhance cooperation between universities, therefore starting projects or project proposals searching for new collaborators are suitable for presentation as well.

Oral presentation

Your oral presentation should fit within 15-minute time slot (+5 minutes for discussion). In case the total number of participants should be too high to fit in the conference schedule, some contributions might be changed from oral presentation to poster (the corresponding author will be notified by e-mail about the change).

Poster presentation

The maximum size of the poster should be A0 (84 x 120 cm) with the "portrait" orientation. The poster session (including the virtual one) will be held on the 3 May in the afternoon.
