The symposium Towards the new Arctic Ocean – Past, Present, Future is an open international science conference where we invite the international science and science user community to present and discuss status of the current understanding of the Arctic Ocean across disciplines and regions.

A plenary session every morning with broader invited key-note presentations, dedicated presentations on use of the science for societal needs and panel discussions will enable a more interdisciplinary discussion and also involve user perspectives.

We welcome the pan-Arctic research community across the natural science disciplines, and stakeholder representatives interested in knowledge status and future perspectives to contribute to a vibrant symposium to build bridges across disciplines, regions, and from natural sciences to societal needs.
