ForumAlpinum (since 1994)
Since 1994, ISCAR has organised the ForumAlpinum with national partners. The ForumAlpinum is primarily a scientific conference aiming to promote international research cooperation on topics of relevance across the entire Alpine arc. The ForumAlpinum has also been designed as an interface between the scientific community, policy and the general public, providing opportunities for dialogue among various groups. www.forumalpinum.org
