Every two years, the VAO Symposium facilitates the exchange of the latest research findings and future collaborative research pursuits in the Alps among members and interested individuals. The symposium emphasizes productive interdisciplinary collaboration among those working in the Atmosphere, Cryosphere, Hydrosphere, Biosphere, Relief, and Lithosphere fields. For this the symposium focuses more on transdisciplinary workshops than on individual talks and aims to develop future research ideas and projects over two days.
Amongst others, there is a great line-up of experts giving keynotes on the Alpine Arch:
Atmosphere: Prof. Dr. Eliza Harris, Uni Bern
Cryosphere: Dr. Nadine Salzmann (WSL Davos), Prof. Dr. Matthias Braun, FAU Erlangen Geosphere: Prof. Dr. Giovanni Crosta, Unimib Milano
Hydrosphere: Prof. Dr. Manuela Brunner, ETH Zurich
Aim: Transdisciplinary exchange between stakeholders working in different geospheres in the Alps, develop future research ideas and projects
