The thematic focus of ISSW 2018 is on the latest scientific findings, practical experience reports and innovative technologies at an international level.
In addition to the main topics of avalanche warning and dynamics, snow science and management, mountain rescue and management, engineering practice and risk management, ISSW 2018 will focus on the special topics of "Integral engineering solutions", "25 years of the avalanche hazard scale" and "IT in the snow".
In order to live up to the motto: "Research for practice - practice for research", one day will be dedicated entirely to field work. With an extensive excursion program, the ISSW offers the unique opportunity to gain insights into the activities of local experts and to experience current problems and their proven solutions in practice. The Tyrolean Mountain Rescue Service, for example, will give an insight into their work on the Stubai Glacier. There will also be training events for mountain guides and other alpine professionals as well as insights into the various types of artificial avalanche triggering.
For the first time, every winter sports enthusiast can take part in ISSW 2018 in Innsbruck - regardless of whether they have a scientific background or not. So - Save the date: ISSW 2018 Innsbruck - 07. to 12.10.2018
