The AGM 2021 will be fully virtual, because the situation at the moment does not allow us to plan on a physical gathering, neither South nor North of the Alps. Therefore, we would like to invite all interested people in joining us for two days of scientific exchange on 25 and 26 March 2021.
The meeting aims to present and discuss recent advances in the investigation of mountain glaciers in their environment, no matter in which region of the world. The conference will be held on the Zoom platform. To take part without a contribution, they ask you to register online by no later than 22 March on the website.
