EU Polar Board is looking for your input

European Polar Board is looking for some input on their Integrated European Research Programme, and has asked the Arctic Centre at Umeå University for help.

– I think our network of close to 200 Arctic associated researchers at Umeå University are the best ones fit for this task, says Lena Maria Nilsson, Research Project Coordinator at Arctic Centre, and assigned expert at the European Polar Board. As an associaded researcher at the Arctic Centre, please give us your input!

The Integrated European Research Programme is used for prioritizing Arctic and Antarctic research in European research calls. It consists of six key questions, described in detail here.

The key questions in brief:

1. Better understanding of climate change in the Polar Regions and its links to lower latitudes
2. Informed weather and climate action
3. Resilient socio-ecological systems
4. Prospering communities in the Arctic
5. Challenges and Opportunities for Polar Operations
6. Inclusive creation, access, and usage of knowledge

European Polar board wants input on the following two questions:

1. Have any of the six Key Questions been addressed in previous or ongoing national or international research projects during the last years that you know of? If yes, please send us links to these projects.
2. Are there any gaps in the Research Needs / Key Questions defined by EU PolarNet1 based on new information that has emerged during the last years? Please, define new Research Needs/Key Questions.

Contact
