The Svalbard Science Conference aspire to enhance cooperation and quality within Svalbard research, build and strengthen interdisciplinary and international networks and consolidate Svalbard as an attractive platform for Arctic research.

In 2017 The Svalbard Science Forum, The Research Council of Norway and The Norwegian Polar Institute in cooperation with The Ny-Ålesund Science Managers Committee (NySMAC) invited researchers, research managers and stakeholders to the first Svalbard Science conference.

Since then the conference has been held every second year with conferences in 2017, 2019, 2021 and 2023.

The Norwegian Meteorological Institute and Norwegian Institute for Air Research (NILU) joined as organizers in 2023.

We are now planning Svalbard Science Conference 2025.
