During these days, new climate science results are presented and we meet each other to exchange ideas, share our experiences and find new inspiration.

You can take part in a set of cross-disciplinary sessions organized by our Research themes leaders. You have the opportunity to meet our External Science Advisory Group, there is a poster exhibition and as usual, a poster competition for PhD student.

Contributions to the Bolin Days Poster Competition and Exhibitions

Poster Competition and Exhibitions 2024

During the 16th edition of our annual Bolin Days conference, almost 60 participants presented their posters in the foyer of Aula Magna as part of the poster competition and exhibition.

Each poster had at least one judge assigned from the External Science Advisory Group (ESAG) and/or the Science Advisory Group (SAG), you can read more about the members of these groups here. Differently from last year, all participants of the Bolin Days were also invited to evaluate the posters by scanning a QR code placed by each poster. Congratulations to Thomas Hocking, Julia Asplund, and Abigail Robinson!

Poster Competition and Exhibitions 2023

During the 15th edition of the annual internal conference the Bolin Days, over 50 participants brought their posters to the foyer of Aula Magna for the poster competition and exhibition.

Attendees then got the opportunity to interact with the authors of the posters, as well as experience the breadth of climate science that the Bolin Centre members possesses. On November 29th, a jury made up of our External Science Advisory Group (ESAG) together with the directors and members of the Science Advisory Group (SAG) announced the winners – congratulations to Sonja Gindorf, Jamie Barnett, and Caroline Greiser!

Climate Lectures

The Bolin Centre for Climate Research is named in honour of Professor Bert Bolin, former Professor of Meteorology at Stockholm University. Every year, a distinguished Bert Bolin Climate Lecturer is invited to Stockholm to hold a popular science lecture and a science seminar at the Bolin Centre for Climate Research.

Bert Bolin was a leader in climate and carbon cycle research and one of the founders of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) which received the Nobel Peace Prize in 2007. To honour Professor Bolin, the Faculty of Science at Stockholm University established the annual Bert Bolin Climate Lecture in 2008, shortly after Bert Bolin had passed away. Every year, a distinguished Bert Bolin Climate Lecturer is invited to Stockholm to hold a popular science lecture and a science seminar at the Bolin Centre for Climate Research.
