Dear all,
We are pleased to let you know that registration for the UK Antarctic Science Conference is now open. The conference will run from the 9th to the 11th of September 2026 at Durham University and aims to bring together UK-based (and anyone visiting is also welcome) scientists from all Antarctic-facing disciplines so that we can collectively learn more about the great work being done and the challenges being faced.
More details about the conference, including the link for registration and the process for abstract submission are available at our website:
Registration and the separate abstract submission form is open until the 27th of July 2026,
and we encourage early registration to help us organise accordingly. The registration (including refreshments on all days, lunches on 9th and 10th, and a conference dinner on the 10th) will cost £80 and college accommodation is also available on a first-come, first-served basis for £60 per night at the time of registration.
We are pleased to have two keynote speakers: Dr. Kate Winter (glaciologist from Northumbria University, UK) and Prof. Sharon Robinson (climate change biologist from the University of Wollongong, Australia) and we will assemble an exciting programme of talks and posters over the summer. We particularly encourage ECRs to present in what is always a friendly and accessible atmosphere.
We look forward to welcoming you to Durham in September! In the meantime if there are any questions please contact us at ukantarctic2026@durham.ac.uk
