ForumAlpinum 2026 - Call for Papers

Alpine communities and territories in a time of glacier loss and climate change

The progressive retreat of glaciers, accelerated by climate change, is profoundly modifying the landscape, water resources, biodiversity and traditional activities of mountain communities. The ForumAlpinum 2026, organised by ISCAR (International Scientific Committee on Reseach in the Alps) in the last week of May 2026 in Aosta valley, will reflect on the consequences of deglaciation in Alpine regions (and beyond), with particular attention to environmental challenges, socio-economic transformations and adaptation strategies. The call for contributions and posters is open until 27 February 2026.
