  1. Extended Deadline
    Call for Participation and Applications from Young Researchers
    Northern Research Forum 6th Open Assembly
    24-27 October 2010
    Oslo and Kirkenes, Norway

Organizers of the Northern Research Forum (NRF) 6th Open Assembly - Our
Ice Dependent World announce that the deadline for applications from
young researchers has been extended to Tuesday, 6 April 2010. The NRF
Assembly will be held on 24-27 October 2010 in Oslo and Kirkenes,
Norway.

The theme "Our Ice Dependent World" is meant to address the impact of
dwindling ice--terrestrial as well as ocean bound--on the complex
interface of nature and society in all climatic zones of the world. In
light of man-made aspects of climate change, the natural phenomena of
ice are gradually becoming a concept of global politics affecting
societal life in dramatic ways on a global scale. The 6th NRF Open
Assembly will focus on the interrelationships of human and environmental
dimensions of ice in a global context, and particularly in the Arctic,
the Antarctic, and the Himalayans. Discussions are expected to highlight
the role of research, the social relevance of science, and community in
addressing the issues globally. For further information on the program,
please click on the 'NRF 6th Open Assembly Thematic Program' link in the
'What's New' box at: http://www.nrf.is/.

Young researchers and professionals who meet one of the following
requirements are eligible to receive full or partial travel funding from
the NRF in order to participate in the Open Assembly:

- Individual has completed a Master's degree in the past 2-3 years,
and plans to complete a doctoral degree;
- Individual is a current terminal degree student (e.g. PhD, JD); or

Further information, including the application form, is available on the
