Mission Statement
Every two years, the VAO Symposium facilitates the exchange of the latest research findings and future collaborative research pursuits among members and interested individuals. The symposium emphasizes productive interdisciplinary collaboration among those working in the Atmosphere, Cryosphere, Hydrosphere, Biosphere, Relief, and Lithosphere fields. For this we focus more on transdisciplinary workshops than on individual talks and aim to develop future research ideas and projects over two days. The outcomes of the symposium will guide the network’s direction and impact in the coming years.
