We are happy to announce that first Students In Polar Research Conference will take place in Brno, Czech Republic between April 20 and 22, 2015. The Department of Geography and Faculty of Science at Masaryk University will host the conference, which aims to introduce actual topics in Polar geography and ecology research, enhance the exchange of information and ideas among young researchers, and offer the opportunity to strengthen existing and establish prospective collaboration. We believe, the event will represent a springboard for annual tradition of meetings, when graduate and postgraduate students will discuss various interesting topics on the most beautiful regions of our planet.

Each section will commence by oral presentation of invited speakers who will be established Czech researchers working either in Svalbard or Antarctica. Preliminary, first day of conference (20th April) will be dedicated to polar geosciences, second day (21st April) to polar biosciences and on third day, excursion to environmental and cultural heritage of Palava region is planned.
