Polar Data Forum VI
Polar Data Forum VI (PDF VI) will be hosted by the Australian Antarctic Data Centre (AADC) from October 20th through 24th, 2025 and will be held at CSIRO Hobart at the University of Tasmania in Hobart, Tasmania, Australia. The Forum follows International Data Week (IDW), which is to be held in Brisbane, Australia on the 13th to 16th of October, 2025.
What does the Polar Data Forum consist of?
PDF is a place where polar data holders get together and make more use of data. The Forum has two main components: the Conference, where the border between funding, policy and data is explored through presentations and posters; and Workshop Sessions & Hackathons, where the Polar Data Community opens the dialogue to make progress on their shared objectives.
