The annual NERC Arctic Research Station ‘Open Day’ will take place on Monday 26th January 2026, at the British Antarctic Survey in Cambridge and online from 1030 to 1430.
If you are a current user of the NERC station in Ny-Ålesund, or if you are considering applying to use the station in the future or just interested in finding out more about the Station, then we strongly recommend attending this event and meeting some of the Station team. The Station provides excellent facilities and accommodation for researchers from across all UK universities, research institutes and other recognised organisations, and their international collaborators, wanting to carry out a range of environmental research which includes ecological, glacial/periglacial geomorphology, hydrology and atmospheric chemistry and marine research.
The agenda will include an overview of the Station from Dr Iain Rudkin, the BAS Arctic Operations Manager, along with some ‘quick-fire’ science talks from recent users of the Station. Details to follow in the coming weeks but it promises to be a very informative event!
Registration is free and you can register to attend via this link: https://forms.office.com/e/P3nnZqPpbW
Refreshments and a light lunch will be provided to those who have registered to attend the event in person.
The deadline to register to attend in person is Friday 16th January 2026.
The deadline to register to attend online is Friday 23rd January 2026. Meeting details will be sent to all those who have registered by close of play on 23rd January.
