In connection with the epidemiological situation, the organizers of the conference “Polar Readings – 2020” decided to conduct it online. The conference will be held on official days – May 18–20, 2020 (from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m.).

The International Scientific and Practical Conference “Polar Readings” is held every year at the end of April, on the eve of the Icebreaker festival on the Neva River. The world’s first Icebreaker festival took place in 2014 under the leadership of the working group responsible for organising the “Polar Readings” conference.

The theme of the Polar Readings conference changes every year. Each year’s theme is carefully chosen as to reflect the most pressing issues in the world of polar studies.

The conference’s main focus is on historical and cultural research, nevertheless, the chosen topics are not limited to these two subjects. This two-day conference brings together researchers, various specialists, and many interested listeners. All the research and presentations are published in the conference proceedings after the conference.

Several thematic exhibitions are also held during the conference.
