Social Movements in Ukraine, Belarus, and Russia in Times of War
From Thursday, June 8, to Friday, June 9, the Research Centre for East European Studies (FSO) at the University of Bremen will host the international conference "Social Movements in Ukraine, Belarus, and Russia in Times of War." The conference will bring together experts on protest movements, civil society, trade unions, and labor struggles in Ukraine, Belarus, and Russia for a targeted exchange. The focus will be on current developments and research perspectives in the context of the Russian war of aggression on Ukraine. The conference is being organized in cooperation with the "Comparing Protest Actions" research project funded by the Volkswagen Foundation, the EU-funded "Markets" project, and the postdoctoral "Rethinking Ukrainian studies: Understanding the country through Ukrainian voices" network, which is supported by BYRD (Bremen Early Research Career Development).

Sea Ice across Temporal and Spatial Scales
The International Glaciological Society (IGS), the Alfred Wegener Institute, Helmholtz Centre for Polar and Marine Research (AWI), and the University of Bremen will host the International Sea Ice Symposium on "Sea Ice across Temporal and Spatial Scales" from Sunday, June 4, to Friday, June 9, in Bremerhaven. Sea ice is an important component of the Earth's climate system and strongly influences marine ecosystems and human activities in both hemispheres. The symposium invites the international sea ice research community to exchange current knowledge and progress in observations, process understanding, and modeling of sea ice. As part of the symposium, a public lecture will be held at the Klimahaus Bremerhaven at 6:00 pm on June 6. Under the title "From Bremerhaven to the North Pole – On the Trail of the Secrets of Sea Ice” (“Von Bremerhaven zum Nordpol – Den Geheimnissen des Meereises auf der Spur”), researchers from the University of Bremen and the Alfred Wegener Institute will report on their work. Entry is free. Contact: Dr. Gunnar Spreen, email: gunnar.spreen@uni-bremen.de
