The 1st POLARIN Transnational Access Call to submit proposals for access to 49 Research Infrastructures (RIs) in both polar regions closed on 28th November 2024, at 16:00 CET. The overwhelming response from the scientific community, reflected in the number of proposals submitted, marks this call as a resounding success.

All proposals that meet the eligibility criteria will undergo review and evaluation throughout December 2024, January, and February 2025. Access decisions will be announced in mid-March 2025 via the POLARIN TAP platform. All applicants, regardless of the outcome, will receive detailed feedback on their proposal evaluation. This feedback, along with the access decisions, will be shared through POLARIN TAP. Successful applicants will be invited to sign agreements with the POLARIN Consortium and the respective RIs where access has been granted.
