ForumAlpinum is a scientific conference aiming to promote international research
cooperation on topics of relevance across the entire Alpine Arc. ForumAlpinum has also
been designed as an interface between the scientific community and policy, providing
opportunities for science-policy dialogue.
ForumAlpinum 2024 titled »The Alps – a Refuge of Bio- and Geodiversity!?«
focused on biodiversity and geodiversity that are under severe threat – worldwide and
especially in sensitive ecosystems like the Alps. The conference identified hot
spots of bio- and geodiversity, their monitoring and management in the Alps, analysed
land use conflicts and their impact on bio- and geodiversity, and assessed the relevance of
bio- and geodiversity protection in the regional, national or international context to
discuss possible solutions.
Participants were invited to join:
- the pre-conference evening programme on 11 June (film screening at Kranjska Gora parish church square);
- the Alpine Convention Biodiversity Conference and actively join the interactive workshops and plenary discussion on 12 June (Hotel Ramada Resort in Kranjska Gora), together with the evening official reception and acknowledging the 30th Anniversary of Forum Alpinum (Hotel Ramada);
- the ForumAlpinum 2024 on June 13 (Hotel Ramada Resort in Kranjska Gora) with three slots of interactive parallel sessions which brought together more than 40 scientific papers and posters from various Alpine localities;
- the field excursions on June 14 (small bus, participation fee) where local organizers enriched the understanding of bio- and geodiversity in the case of Radovna River valley and Soča River valley.
