Dear colleagues, polar
researchers, friends,
It is my pleasure to announce that the 11th
BIOSCIENCES IN POLAR AND ALPINE RESEARCH organized by the
Masaryk university team is coming in late November 2025.
Therefore, allow me to draw your attention to the first circular
of this scientific event. The workshop has got a fixed format,
i.e. a hybrid even with majority of attendants being present and
presenting on-line.
In brief, it is our pleasure to invite you to Biosciences in
Polar and Alpine Research, a workshop that will be held on
November 27th, 2025 at
the Faculty of Science, University Campus Bohunice, Masaryk
University, Brno, Czech Republic. General intention of the
meeting is to provide a platform for data presentation, exchange
of professional knowledge and formation of interdisciplinary
approaches in polar research.
In 2025, the BIOSCIENCES workshop enlarges its scope to attract
specialist from a wide variety of fields of science emphasizing
an integrative approach exploiting multiple biological
disciplines in the studies of polar ecosystems and their
analogues (see the topics marked with an asterisk). Based on the
experience gained during last few years, the meeting will be
organized on-line (the link will be sent to the participants
after their registration). Oral presentations should fit into
one of the following sections:
Omics era in polar research
¶Antarctica as model for space seasearch
¶Stress physiology of polar and alpine
autotrophs
¶Ecology of polar autotrophs
¶Local and regional studies on vegetation
response to warming in Antarctica
Polar and Alpine microbiology from the
field to a laboratory (and back again)
Molecular biology and genetics of Polar
and Alpine animals
¶Biology of humans - Man and polar regions
(expeditions, health care in Antarctica)
International co-operation in polar
biology research
Main scope of the BIOSCIENCES workshop is the
application of short- and long-term monitoring in the field, as
well as experimental biological work in a laboratory in recent
polar research. Apart of interdisciplinarity of the meeting, our
intention is to promote co-operation between particular teams
working in the field of polar research. Last but not least,
presentation of recent results of Czech and international polar
science is main goal as well as promotion of professional
information transfer to students and early career young
scientists.
Please find details about participation and
abstract/presentation guidelines at particular submenu at this
web site. Deadline for abstract/paper submission is November 21st,
2025 (24:00). Abstract should not be longer than 3500 characters
including spaces. After submission, the abstract will pass peer
review process before November 27th
and then published in Czech Polar Reports (Vol. 16th,
No. 1, 2026).
