The idiom “All hands on deck” reflects the efforts that are currently needed to address the major environmental challenges of the current century. Knowledge in all forms and of all natures represent an essential component for designing a desirable and sustainable future both for Mankind and the Earth, along with the means to achieve such horizons. Knowledge inclusiveness, however, has not always been a concern in scientific and academic circles, although this could improve the ways we do research and interact with the rest of the society.

The conference contains five sessions drawing on multiple disciplines from the social to the natural sciences:

• Voices from Alpine and Polar regions
• Bridging knowledge from Polar ocean beneficiaries
• Polar regions in motion
• Methods and ethics in polar research
• Advances in cryospheric sciences

Deadline for submission of proposals is 1 April 2022.
