 We welcome abstracts for 118 sessions under four main themes: 1. oceans; 2. climate and environment 3. sustainable economic developments, 4. people of the North, and 5. other. The duration and format of the presentation (oral or poster) will be decided individually by the session convener(s) and subject to accepted number of abstracts. The sessions run either 60 or 90 minutes.

Book of Sessions

All open sessions can be viewed and/or downloaded as an interactive pdf here.

This pdf shows the ‘Book of Sessions’, descriptions of each session including session title, number, convener. Sessions are listed according to the five main topics: 1. Oceans, 2. Climate and environment, 3. Sustainable economic activities, 4. People of the North and 5. Other.

Once you have found and selected the session you want to submit an abstract for, you will find that session number and title in the submission portal.

Guidelines

  • Abstracts must be submitted through the submission portal (see log in below)

  • Abstracts must be submitted in English.

  • Please note that we will not accept late submissions by email.

  • Notification of acceptance/rejection will be given in early February.

  • The presenting author is required to ensure that all co-authors are aware of the content of the abstract and all agree to submit in prior to actual submission.

  • If accepted, the presenting authors still need to register and pay the conference fee in order to be included in the final programme.

  • The preferred presentation form is oral, but the session convener(s) reserves the right to decide upon presentation form, as the abstract could be offered as a poster presentation. The scientific value of posters would be equal to that of oral presentations.
