The ‘Strategic Science in Antarctica’ Conference was held in Hobart from 24–28 June 2013 at the University of Tasmania.
The conference focused on current research occurring on the icy continent and in the Southern Ocean. Featuring a number of keynote speakers, science talks, poster displays and post-conference workshops, the conference gave researchers the opportunity to collaborate and share their research. Talks and workshops on policy, operational planning, science communications and the application process for research in Antarctica were also hosted.
This inaugural joint conference was the result of a collaboration between the Australian Antarctic Division and Antarctica New Zealand. These two organisations have a shared vision for Antarctica and the Southern Ocean: ‘Valued, Protected And Understood’. The conference was an important professional forum for the Antarctic science community to meet and exchange ideas.
