POLARIN at the Arctic Circle Assembly 2024

POLARIN at the Arctic Circle Assembly 2024 POLARIN joined the Arctic Circle Assembly 2024, the largest annual international gathering on the Arctic with participation from governments, organizations, corporations, universities, think tanks, environmental associations, indigenous communities, concerned citizens, and others. The Assembly is held every October in Harpa Concert Hall and Conference Center in Reykjavík, Iceland. This year’s ACA took place on 17-19 October. POLARIN was featured during the conference at the joint EU Polar Cluster / European Commission booth together with other EU-funded polar research projects, as well as presented by the POLARIN’s Project Manager, Dr. Veronica Willmott,  during the Fondation Tara Océan’s session “Tara Polar Station: Identifying Central Arctic Changes Through Transpolar Drifts”. POLARIN is an EU-funded initiative that brings together an international network of polar research infrastructures. The project will run for five years from March 2024 to February 2029. It aims to address the scientific challenges of polar regions by providing integrated access to a wide array of high-level research infrastructures, including research stations in the Arctic and Antarctic, research vessels, icebreakers, observatories, and data repositories.

Join the POLARIN Expert Pool!

Would you like to join the POLARIN Expert Pool and participate in the review process of proposals submitted to the POLARIN Transnational Access calls? The EU funded project POLARIN – Polar Research Infrastructure Network – is seeking experts from various fields of polar research, from natural sciences to human dimension, to join an international pool of experts to contribute to the scientific evaluation of Transnational Access applications. Volunteer to the POLARIN Expert Pool here and indicate the field of your expertise. How it works? If your expertise matches our needs, the POLARIN Evaluation Secretariat will contact you to invite you for potential review assignment(s).  Invited experts will submit their reviews via secure connection in the POLARIN Transnational Access Platform (POLARIN TAP) on-line system, where guidelines to conduct the reviews will be provided.  The identity of the reviewers is confidential and will not be disclosed to any applicant.  The invited experts also sign a confidentiality clause and a declaration of no conflict of interest prior to their evaluations. The currently ongoing Transnational Access call 2024 is open until the 28th of November, with scientific evaluations taking place in December-January 2024. The invited experts will be asked to provide reviews of individual applications, presumably requiring altogether one to two hours of their working time. There is no financial compensation for these evaluations, but a certificate will be provided to demonstrate their contribution as Expert Evaluator in POLARIN. In addition, serving as a reviewer allows one to learn what’s new in the field, to develop critical thinking skills essential to research, and to improve one’s own writing. Early Career Researchers including post doctoral fellows are welcome to register.  Since successive (yearly) calls will be issued till the end of the POLARIN project, the Expert Pool will be in function until the end of the project (28th of February 2029), after which it will automatically close and all information in the pool will be deleted. The data submitted by filling the form will only be used for the purpose of volunteering to the POLARIN Expert Pool as a reviewer. Your data will not be disclosed to third parties and you can at any time resign or ask to modify your information by e-mailing to the POLARIN Evaluation Secretariat at polarin_evaluation_secretariat[at]ogs.it Join the POLARIN Expert Pool!
