World in Transition

We are pleased to invite you to the 37th Nordic Geological Winter Meeting, which will take place in Turku, Finland, from January 13–15, 2026.

The Nordic Geological Winter Meeting (NGWM) brings together researchers from Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden, representing all disciplines within the geosciences. Since its inception in 1954, the NGWM has become a biennial tradition in the Nordic geoscience community. It provides a platform for Earth scientists across the region to connect, share their latest research, and foster collaboration.

The meeting will feature three days of scientific sessions, including oral and poster presentations, as well as an exhibition showcasing a wide range of relevant content for participants. The theme for this year’s meeting is “World in Transition”, emphasizing the interdisciplinary and forward-thinking nature of the geosciences. While contributions addressing this theme are particularly encouraged, submissions from all areas of geoscience are warmly welcome. We invite geologists from academia, industry, consulting, and students to join us in this event.

Welcome to Turku!

Turku, which once was Finland’s capital, has a long history, stretching back to the Middle Ages. Today Turku is a vibrant and modern city full of life and activities, one of its advantages being the compact size and easy walking distances.

The picturesque surroundings of the old town quarters have a lot to offer – great selection of restaurants, galleries, museums and attractions. Turku is also the gateway to the Finnish archipelago, the world’s largest labyrinth of island.
