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 ReykjavÃk, 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.
