Open Science Conferences

AIMES has an important coordination role for Earth System research worldwide. To support and stimulate community building among Earth system researchers working across scales and disciplines, AIMES organizes open science conferences to provide the AIMES community a platform for interaction. AIMES open science conferences explore how emerging Earth system science knowledge can inform policy and practice in the sustainable governance of the Earth system. Hence, participation is welcome from all branches of Earth System science, with the aspiration of bringing together researchers, practitioners and policy makers to advance understanding of the sustainability of the Earth system today and tomorrow.
