Scientific Conference – Strategy Session is held to bring together representatives of stakeholders to analyze and assess the current situation, identify problems, develop solutions and a common vision for the development of research on snow cover, precipitation and aerosols. The conference will contribute to the creation of a new scientific and discussion platform in the Baikal region. The study of these objects is based on the application of fundamental sciences, which implies theoretical and experimental scientific research of fundamental phenomena and the search for patterns.

The conference working languages are English and Russian.
