Already for the 7th time, the Students in Polar and Alpine Research Conference will be held at the Department of Geography, Masaryk University, in Brno, Czechia, on the 3 and 4 May 2021.

Whether you are an undergraduate/PhD student or early-career researcher (less than 5 years after the PhD defence) working in the fields of geosciences or biosciences in the Polar and alpine environments, you are most welcome to attend our conference.

We are aware of the current COVID-19 situation complicating the international travels, therefore the entire conference will be virtually streamed for those who cannot attend in person. We encourage you thus to register and prepare your contributions! Several talks from the last year’s conference can be seen here.

How to contribute

The conference is free of charge for all participants. The registration form and further information including abstract guidelines can be found here.
