The Arctic Science Summit Week 2023 (ASSW 2023) will
be held in Vienna, Austria from 17 to 24 February 2023.
The Co
nference is organized by the Austrian Polar Research Institute (APRI), the
Austrian Arctic Community, the International Arctic Science Committee (IASC) and partn
ers. The venue will be the University of Vienna, one of the o
ldest universities in Europe. To meet the requirements of a potential influ
ence of Covid-19 on the conference, but also to make the event as CO2 frien
dly as possible, the conference is planned as a hybrid event.
The general theme of the ASSW 2023 Science
Symposium is "The Arctic in the Anthropocene". Vienna
and the Austrian Polar Research Institute invite researchers from all scien
tific disciplines to discuss the role of the Arctic in the Anthropocene, sp
anning the time frame from the past to the future.
Abstract s
ubmission for the ASSW 2023 Science Symposium “The Ar
ctic in the Anthropocene” (21 – 24 February 2023) is open until&nb
sp;20 September 2022.
Never before has the Arctic exper
ienced such a high pressure by human impact either by local environmental d
isturbances or by global climate change leading to long-term changes and ma
ssive challenges to the resistance and resilience of polar ecological syste
ms and Arctic societies. “The Arctic in the Anthropocene” is a quite approp
riate theme to focus on the increasing pressure of high latitudes. Several
sessions offer space to shed light on short- and long-term changes, respect
ively, on human, terrestrial, aquatic or aerial systems. Despite the focus
on the Arctic, contributions on the Antarctic, aiming at fostering networki
ng and advances on research on both poles, are accepted and appreciated.
Abstract submission is open for the following sessions:

Each lead author may submit up to one
oral and one poster presentation. Abstracts text is limited to 1500 charac
ters and the title should not be longer than 150 characters. The notificati
on on abstract acceptance will be made by mid-November 2022, with the progr
amme being presented in December 2022. Oral presentations will be up to 12
minutes plus 3 minutes of discussion time. The abstracts will be organized
in a book of abstracts with DOI to be made available in pdf.
