The Project goes to Montreal

The Ortlerproject will be presented in Montreal at the conference of the International Polar Year titled “From knowledge to action”, which will take place between 22 and 27 April 2012.

The polar year, which in fact lasted for two years (2007-2008), with its thousands of research and didactic activities all over the world, ended a few years ago. The objective of this conference is to analyse what was achieved during the International Polar Year, and to develop criteria, instructions and useful instruments that could contribute to increasing knowledge of the polar regions. From knowledge to action!

The event represents the biggest and most important scientific conference dedicated to polar science, to climate change and its impact. In addition, it represents a privileged observatory, at which the most efficient methods of cooperation between science and society can be researched. In view of this, the educational outreach activity of the Ortler project has been selected for presentation during the session dedicated to the most innovative school activities.
