WELCOME MESSAGE
Dear Friends On behalf of the International Snow Science
Workshop we are pleased to welcome you to the
and Colleagues!
ISSW 2018, taking place Oct 7 to 12, 2018, at
Congress Innsbruck, Austria.
The Innsbruck Organizing and Program
Committees have made a large effort to breathe
life into the ISSW motto “A merging of theory and
practice”. Besides the classic General Topics, the
ISSW 2018 offers Special Topic sessions, a wide
range of Training Courses and Field Trips, as well
as an integrated exhibition.
For the first time, the ISSW 2018 features a Public
Day, where the results and topics of the conference
will be discussed with a broader audience,
including members of local municipalities and
public administrators.
We hope you enjoy the conference and the eclectic
side programme in the spectacular setting and the
beautiful city of Innsbruck.
