UK Arctic Science Conference 2025

-

Northumbria University

Register for the conference here...

The aim of the conference is to identify key priorities for the UK Arctic science community and welcome participants from diverse career stages and disciplines. We will focus on three themes: (1) Strengths of UK Arctic science, (2) Sustainability challenges and resilience of Arctic research, and (3) Science-policy linkages. Each theme will consist of a small number of keynote talks, panel discussions and sandpit activities. The latter will be important for enabling priorities to be agreed at the conference, which will subsequently be synthesised as a policy piece. 

In addition, an extended poster session in the informal setting of Wylam Brewery will guarantee everyone is able to present their research and engage in Arctic science discussion. The conference dinner will directly follow the poster session.
