EU-PolarNet wants to improve and strengthen the international cooperation in polar research
Image Annie SprattThe ambition of EU-PolarNet was to improve and strengthen international co-operation in polar research, to develop an integrated European research program and a resource-orientated infrastructure and useage plan and initiate, conduct and sustain a meaningful dialogue with polar stakeholders.
The purpose of the Polar Research Program is to find the right priorities for polar research
ImageAnnie SprattEU-PolarNet came to its end in June 2020. They are proud to introduce the first fully co-designed European Polar Research Programme. In addition, they have published two white papers: A white paper on European Infrastructure Access and Interoperability and a White Paper on Status of Stakeholder Engagement in Polar Research.
The European Polar Research Programme (EPRP) was developed with the mission to identify research priorities which have direct relevance to the most pressing societal challenges that local and indigenous communities, polar stakeholders and, more generally, all regions including Europe are facing as a result of the changes in the Polar Regions. The EPRP is the outcome of a five-year process of co-designing and co-developing a future research agenda for Europe which has been performed within the EU-PolarNet consortium.
