This conference will explore the polar regions as critical observatories of planetary change and global responsibility.
Scholars and scientists from VIU member institutions, including leading experts in ocean science, climate research, environmental humanities, and emerging technologies, will meet at VIU for a one-day conference to exchange perspectives across disciplines and geographies.
The program highlights Italy’s scientific presence in the Arctic and examines why the poles are central to climate regulation and sea-level dynamics. It addresses future challenges in ocean science, reflects on the symbolic link between Venice and the North Pole, and emphasizes shared vulnerabilities in water-shaped environments.
