This year, Norway and Andøya Space will host the symposium, which will take place over four days in Trondheim, from May 31st to June 4th.

Charlotte Bjørkmo, project manager for the symposium at Andøya Space, will welcome researchers from around the world working within atmospheric and space research.

She has worked diligently together with a committee from Andøya Space to put together this year’s event. In addition, a program committee consisting of representatives from various research institutions and universities has determined the conference topics.

Although Reform has raised a total of £36m in that period, analysis by the Nerve reveals that more than £29m has come from traditionally Conservative sources. That figure, along with a slew of recent defections from the Tory party, has alarmed many Reform members; some say this confirms their view that Reform UK is really the Conservative party in disguise. At the time of writing, half of Reform UK’s newly announced “shadow cabinet” are former Tory ministers.

A top Welsh Labour figure has defected to the Green party under Zack Polanski.

Former Labour group leader on Carmarthenshire County Council, Cllr Robert James, has defected to the party as the so-called “Polanski effect” continues.

James is the first ever councillor to join the Greens in Wales and the party claims it is in talks with others “weighing up their decision”.

It comes as a Find Out Now poll carried out last week put Labour on just 15%, a staggering three points behind the Greens as Zack Polanski’s party continues to surge in popularity with voters.

The poll of 2,717 people put Reform UK on 33%, the Greens on 18%, the Conservatives on 16% and the LibDems on 11%.

Announcing the defection at Wales Green Party conference, Polinski said: “I know this will be the first of many councillors who we will be welcoming to the Wales Green Party.

“I’m delighted to be welcoming Robert in person at this historic Wales conference where members are planning how to break through into the Senedd in the elections in 2026.

“This defection of a country councillor shows that the momentum is building and more breakthroughs will follow.

“Rob is a pioneer – he was the youngest Labour group leader in Wales, and now the first councillor in Wales to join the Green Party from Labour.

Regjeringa tar ikke utfordringene vi står overfor på alvor i årets statsbudsjett. SV kommer til å bruke høsten på å kjempe for å gi folk bedre råd, få ned ulikheten og utslippene, og gjøre mer for Palestina.

– Dette er ikke trygg styring i en tid med store forskjeller og klimakrise. Arbeiderpartiet hadde mulighet til å gjøre noe med de store utfordringene i vår tid, men gir ikke folk bedre råd, reduserer ikke ulikheten og tar ikke miljøet på alvor. De kutter mer i inntektsskatten for de rikeste enn for folk flest, de kutter i tannhelse for de aller sykeste, stønad til aleneforsørgere og foreldre uten inntekt – men ikke i utslippene. Det er det motsatte av det vi trenger nå, sier partileder i SV, Kirsti Bergstø.
