The goal of the Interdisciplinary Polar Studies (IPS-2023) Modular Meeting is to:

  • Strengthen the holistic approach to studying and better understanding environmental changes and their implications due to the accelerated warming of the Arctic.
  • Preparation of a new generation of scientists for creative involvement in the 5th International Polar Year 2032/2033 by broader participation in the Ocean Decade (2021-2030) and in the IASC ICARP IV (2025) process.
  • An enhanced and coordinated monitoring of landscape and seascape evolution in Svalbard is needed for profound studies of mechanisms of interaction with glaciers and other components of the cryosphere.
  • Identification of gaps, coordination of international efforts and unification of methods will be presented during the conference and discussed directly in the field.

The activity is aimed at: the Early Career Researchers and PhD students, experienced scientists; representatives of various business branches; representatives of authorities and non-governmental organizations.
