For the CNR, coordination is entrusted to the Department of Earth System Sciences and Environmental Technologies.
This Forum offers a unique opportunity to bring together international leaders from research, academia, government, industry, indigenous communities and civil society. Discussions will focus on the major transformations taking place in the Arctic regions with the aim of promoting collaboration and dialogue, extending the reflection to Antarctica and the so-called Third Pole.
The event will feature panels organised around the central themes of science, diplomacy, security, education and research, addressing shared global challenges such as climate and environmental change, polar oceans, ice and ecosystems, emerging technologies for observation and monitoring, adaptation to extreme environments, sustainable development and community resilience, international cooperation and science diplomacy.
The event aims to promote Italian expertise and excellence in polar studies, strengthening the country’s role as a leading international player in a sector of growing scientific, climatic, economic and geopolitical importance at a global level.
On Saturday, 18 October, during the Arctic Circle Assembly in Reykjavik, ample space was given to the Rome Forum and calls for panel proposals were opened, encouraging broad participation from universities, research institutes and other organisations. Interest from the international scientific community and institutions is very high.
All DSSTTA institutes are invited to share ideas and proposals for active participation, including by liaising with other departments or external partners.
The deadline is set for 28 November.
