Event
Start date: Monday 26 May 2025
Time: 09.00
End date: Tuesday 27 May 2025
Time: 17.00
Location: Beijer Hall, Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences
Official Launch of the New Tellus Journal and 75th Jubilee celebration. Registration now open!
The Bolin Centre for Climate Research and the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences warmly invite you to an event celebrating the 75th anniversary of the journal Tellus, which was marked last year.
As the number of places is limited, we encourage you to register as soon as possible if you are interested in participating.
Read more and register before 14/5!
On behalf of the Bolin Centre,
Best regards,
Ilona Riipinen, Stefano Manzoni and Gustaf Hugelius
Event coordinator: Maria Basova (maria.basova@aces.su.se)
This event is co-organized with the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences (KVA), which serves as a partner in hosting the symposium. However, KVA has no affiliation with the Tellus journal itself and is involved solely in organizing the event.
