The conference has been referred to as an “Early Science” conference to emphasize the fact that more knowledge from the IPY will evolve yet for many years to come. It will demonstrate the benefit of early and open data sharing among scientists.
The IPY Oslo Science Conference will emphasize the breadth and global impact of polar research during the IPY. It will highlight the extraordinary interdisciplinary and multinational efforts in research and in communication of research to the public. Participants will present early scientific results from all the IPY themes, particularly in the urgent areas of:
1. Linkages between polar regions and global systems
2. Past, present and future changes in polar regions
3. Polar ecosystems and biodiversity
4. Health and well-being of northern people and communities
5. New frontiers and new directions in polar research
The Norwegian Polar Institute (NPI) is heavily involved with the IPY both in Norway and internationally. Many NPI scientists, communicators and expedition and logistics experts are expected to take part in the conference.
