The next annual INARCH workshop will be held at the Innsbruck University Center in Obergurgl, Austria on September 12–14, 2025.  Our local hosts are Professors Rainer Prinz, Lindsey Nicolson, and Ulrich Strasser from the University of Innsbruck.  Obergurgl is already at 2,000 m, meaning every hike quickly leads to higher altitudes.  Even in summer, it can be cold, snowy, and severe storms.  Appropriate shoes and clothing are a good idea there.  

Tentative Agenda

• September 12 (afternoon): participants will travel by bus from Innsbruck and arrive at Obergurgl in the late afternoon.
• September 12 (evening): dinner and workshop opening remarks / overview of INARCH progress.
• September 13 (all day): participants will tour the Rofental Catchment; this will be weather-dependent and different options will be explored.

• September 14 (lunch time): participants will have a bag lunch and depart for Innsbruck.
• September 14 to 18: The International Mountain Conference (IMC2025) takes place in Innsbruck and INARCH will hold a scientific session there.
