[The following message is from the IPICS 2026 Local Organizing Committee]
Dear Ice Core Aficionados:
We are happy to announce that registration for the 2026 IPICS Open Science Conference is now open! The IPICS 2026 meeting will be held at the Banff Centre for Arts and Creativity in scenic Banff, Canada, from Monday, October 12 to Friday October 16, 2026. An associated Early Career Researcher workshop will take place in the same venue on Sunday October 11.
The organizing committee has put together an exciting program of scientific sessions, an excursion, and social events designed to maintain the long-standing international connectivity of ice core science. Banff is fantastic destination in the Canadian Rocky Mountains, and the Banff Centre is ideally suited for IPICS 2026. Hotel rooms are available on site, and we strongly encourage you to book your lodging at the Banff Centre (see separate link on the IPICS 2026 webpage). Having all participants stay on site will greatly enhance the experience with more opportunities for interaction. Lodging on site is economical relative to other options in Banff, will allow easy access to the conference facilities, and is just a short walk to downtown Banff. On-site group breakfast and lunch are included with the registration.
Please register and book your lodging as soon as possible.
The abstract submission deadline is May 15.
Limited travel grants are available for Early Career Researchers (Students, Postdocs, or Professionals within 3 years of graduation) and researchers from Low and Lower Middle Income Countries.
On behalf of the local organizing committee – we look forward to seeing you in Banff!
Best,
Christo Buizert
