Svalbard Science Conference 2019 - Svalbard in a pan-Arctic perspective
5–6 November 2019, Scandic Fornebu Oslo, Norway
The Norwegian archipelago of Svalbard, with a location in the high Arctic and easy accessibility, represents a unique platform for high quality international research and education.
The Svalbard Science Forum, The Research Council of Norway and The Norwegian Polar Institute in cooperation with The Ny-Ålesund Science Managers Committee (NySMAC) invite researchers, research managers and stakeholders to the second Svalbard Science conference. The conference will focus on Svalbard in a pan-Arctic setting, aspiring to enhance cooperation and quality within Svalbard research, build and strengthen interdisciplinary and international networks and consolidate Svalbard as an attractive platform for Arctic research.
Together with updates on the new strategies for research and education in Svalbard and inspirational talks from invited key notes, we invite participants to take an active role in the conference through presentations, poster sessions and group discussions. Registration and abstract submission will open in March 2019.

“Gender in Polar Research: Gendered field work conditions, epistemologies and legacies”
A two-day workshop in the framework of
Arctic Science Summit Week 2020,
Akureyri, Iceland, 29-30(TBC) March 2020
funded by IASC - the International Arctic Science Committee
The IASC Social Sciences and Humanities Working Group (WG), together with IASC’s Cryosphere, Marine, and Terrestrial WGs, invites you to a unique cross-disciplinary workshop attempting to bring together the natural sciences, the social sciences and the humanities in order to discuss and reflect on the gendered nature of Polar research.
The workshop will combine three strands of debate that have thus far not been discussed systematically:
- Doing science in the 21st century in a way that departs from but also pays careful attention to the history of exploration and colonial endeavours as “heroic” and masculine activities – while a masculine image still seems to dominate the methodologies and practices of Arctic and Polar research.
- The still existing gender gap when it comes to female researchers in hard sciences, their career prospects, and their sometimes difficult working conditions as women in the field. Critiques of the gender gap and gendered research work have thus far neglected the diversity aspects of queer and gender minority (LGBTQI) researchers. They face particular challenges whíle working in a still largely heteronormative research environment as it is described for research stations, vessels or tundra/taiga camps.
- The gendered composition of researchers as actors and the gendered spaces of conducting research, including the field sites, have an important impact on research interests, research design, research ethics and epistemology. The gender bias affects the research subject and methodology, and Polar research can learn from and communicate with other fields of science about how to ensure a high standard of equality, sensitivity to issues of marginalization, and ethical production of science.
We invite participants of the ASSW 2020 from natural and social sciences to pop by at the workshop and to join the discussions and break-out groups. Participants will be engaged through alternative formats to gain a maximum of knowledge exchange as well as to map out the state of the art and ideas about where to go from there.
We invite abstracts for a great variety of contributions in conversation with the three themes outlined above: besides as a set of classic academic papers (15 min) and short inputs (5 min) (e.g. sharing experiences or introducing NGOs and movements).
In particular, the workshop facilitates discussions and break-out group work for examining pressing issues in the thematic fields based on individual, group and scholarly experience and activism. Audiovisual or artistic contributions are very welcome. Also join us for volunteering as an organiser of a break-out group.
Submission of proposal and request for funding

Arctic Observing Summit 2020
The 5th biennial AOS will be held in 31 March-2 April 2020 in Akureyri, Iceland as part of Arctic Science Summit Week (ASSW) 2020. The overarching theme of the 2020 Summit is Observing for Action.
Call for Community Input
White Papers and Short Statements
Deadline for submitting input: 18 October 2019
The Executive Organizing Committee for the Arctic Observing Summit (AOS) 2020 is seeking community input in the form of white paper and short statements on the topics under discussion at the Summit.The 5th biennial AOS will be held in 31 March-2 April 2020 in Akureyri, Iceland as part of Arctic Science Summit Week (ASSW) 2020. The overarching theme of the 2020 Summit is Observing for Action.
Community input and perspectives are invited in the form of white papers and short statements for AOS 2020. Community input can serve to highlight important data, management, or logistical needs or gaps, explore emerging opportunities, address a current challenge, present new initiatives, or technology that can contribute to Arctic observing (including global programs), or review on-going observing activities or issues that are relevant for the development, application, operation, or support of a sustained Arctic observing network. Community input (white papers/short statements) should link to the themes identified for AOS 2020. However, other input on important and relevant topics related to AOS are welcome also under the category of “OTHER: Other high-priority issues for Arctic observing.”
These statements will be used to help guide discussions during the AOS Thematic Working Group sessions. Authors may be invited to give presentations during AOS 2020, and a synthesis of white paper issues will inform recommendations and action items adopted at the Summit and conveyed to Arctic Council Working Groups and other local, national, and international bodies overseeing, supporting, or carrying out sustained Arctic observations.
Based on recommendations and priorities identified during the 2018 Summit, AOS 2020 will be structured along the following sub-themes:
- Sub-Theme 1: Design, Optimization, and Implementation of the Observing System;
- Sub-Theme 2: Observing in Support of Adaptation and Mitigation;
- Sub-Theme 3: Observing in Support of Indigenous Food Security and Related Needs;
- Sub-Theme 4: Data Interoperability and Federated Search;
- Sub-Theme 5: Arctic Observations in the Context of Global Observing Initiatives; and
- Sub-Theme 6: Arctic Observing in Support of Global Actions.
For more information and to submit a white paper or short statement,
go to the submission webpage.

International Symposium on Plastics in the Arctic and Sub-Arctic Region
Reykjavik, 21-23 April 2020
Registration and call for abstracts
Call for Abstracts is now open and a direct link to the abstract submissions form is here. The deadline for abstract submissions is 1 December 2019.
Registration is now open and a direct link to the registration site is here. The deadline for an early bird registration is 30 September 2019.
Iceland holds the Chairmanship of the Arctic Council from May 2019 to May 2021 and will during its chairmanship put emphasis on discussing and promoting ways and means to reduce the impact of plastics on the Arctic ocean. This emphasis will be reflected in the work of the Arctic Council during the period where Iceland intends to stage an international symposium on plastics in the Arctic and Sub-Arctic region in Reykjavik from 21-23 April 2020.
The symposium will be co-hosted by the Government of Iceland and the Nordic Council of Ministers in collaboration with the International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES), UNEP, OSPAR, IOC UNESCO, IASC, Harvard Kennedy School and PAME, a working group of the Arctic Council. The symposium is expected to provide a most relevant update on plastics in the region, its impact on the marine environment and possible solutions.
The symposium program outline, registration and call for abstracts can be found on the symposium website: www.arcticplastics2020.is
