About

The purpose of the conference — is to foster international networking and partnerships in interdisciplinary research and to provide researchers from Russia and other countries with a venue for sharing information and experience regarding the elaboration of an integrated interdisciplinary approach to solving problems associated with Arctic exploration and development.

The mission of the conference

In this day and age, it is impossible to extract resources in the Arctic without considering the major challenge facing humanity, which consists in transforming the Arctic to meet people’s needs while preserving this unique region for posterity. Of particular importance is the fact that St. Petersburg Mining University, which specializes in training high-skilled professionals for the mineral resources sector, intends to spread and promote the idea of an integrated approach to the problem of developing the region.

Working languages of the conference: Russian, English.

As part of the conference, sessions for experts and young researchers are planned to be held. 

Conference papers will be published in a volume indexed in the Scopus and WoS databases. The organizing committee reserves the right to select materials to be published.
