ForumAlpinum is a scientific conference, organized by ISCAR in collaboration with national partners, aiming to promote international research cooperation on topics of relevance across the entire Alpine Arc. The 2024 edition in Kranjska Gora, Slovenia, focused on biodiversity and geodiversity that are under severe threat – worldwide and especially in sensitive ecosystems like the Alps. Designed as an interface between the scientific community and policy, the ForumAlpinum 2024 took place back-to-back with the Alpine Biodiversity Conference of the Alpine Convention.
