FACE-IT at the 2024 European Polar Science Week
03 to 06 September 2024
FACE-IT will engage in the 2024 European Polar Science Week, taking place in Copenhagen, Denmark, from 03 to 06 September 2024. This conference is a joint venture between the European Commission and the European Space Agency aiming to strengthen the cooperations in polar sciences. FACE-IT will contribute two sessions and many more colleagues are involved in other sessions, check out below.
Registration to the 2024 European Polar Science Week will be open until 31 July 2024. Register here!
