The 6th NRF Open Assembly will be held in Hveragerði, Iceland 

3rd - 6th of September 2011.

Overarching Theme of the 6th Open Assembly is "Our Ice Dependent World"

The overall objective of the Open Assembly in Hveragerði, Iceland, is to address the impact of dwindling ice - terrestrial as well as ocean bound - on the complex interface of nature and society in all climatic zones of the world, with an emphasis on the Arctic, the Antarctic and the Himalayans. In light of the man-made part of climate change, particularly meaning global warming, and the natural phenomena of ice is gradually becoming a concept of global politics - a common heritage of humankind- affecting societal life in quite dramatic ways on a global scale. This turn in the interrelationship and working of the society/nature interface is the focus of the Assembly.

Host of the conference is the University of Akureyri
