Aims of the Climate Day
The Austrian Climate Day is a scientific conference that also offers programmes for the interested general public.
The 16th Austrian Climate Day
- aims to provide an overview of current Austrian research activities in the areas of climate change, its impacts and mitigation, and adaptation strategies.
- serves as a platform for exchange and networking among all individuals and institutions with an interest in climate change.
- facilitates networking across natural science, socioeconomic, and humanities and cultural studies disciplines.
- promotes exchange between fundamental research, applied research, and end users.
- is open to encouraging and fostering dialogue, discussion, and networking between scientific and non-scientific groups.
- invites Viennese school classes to engage in dialogue with climate experts.
Registration and Submission of Contributions
In the new online registration portal on the Climate Day website, you can register and upload an abstract at the same time. Further information on registration and participation in the 16th Austrian Climate Day can be found on our website under <link de ccca-aktivitaeten oesterr-klimatag klimatag-2015 abstracts-anmeldung external-link-new-window external link in new>Climate Day 2015.
As in previous years, we'd ask you to prepare and present results from your research activities and their connections to related fields for colleagues from both your own and other disciplines. This can be done in the form of a talk or a poster. Please note that an abstract must be submitted for both. Through our online registration portal, you'll be able to upload your abstracts, which will be reviewed by the programme committee after the submission deadline (26 January 2015). Abstracts will be formatted uniformly for the conference proceedings; in the online registration system, you can upload the text components and figures for your abstract separately and without formatting.
The submission deadline for abstracts is 26 January 2015.
Registrations for participation will be accepted until 21 April 2015.
Information on the acceptance of contributions and the Climate Day programme will be communicated to submitters by email around early March 2015.
The ACRP Steering Committee again invites project leaders of advanced ACRP projects to present their project results at the Climate Day in specially designated sessions. This will take place in collaboration with the Climate and Energy Fund. Separate information will be sent to the project leaders of the relevant ACRP projects.
Green Meeting
This year we're once again making every effort to organise the Climate Day as a Green Meeting and make it as sustainable as possible. Please support us in this and opt for climate-friendly modes of transport such as train, bus, or carpooling when travelling to the event. The venue is located directly on the U2 underground line and is quick and easy to reach by public transport from all parts of Vienna.
All information on the 16th Austrian Climate Day will be made available on the Climate Day website and updated on an ongoing basis: www.ccca.ac.at/de/ccca-aktivitaeten/oesterr-klimatag/klimatag-2015/
