The Arctic Science Summit Week (ASSW) 2025, hosted by the International Arctic Science Committee (IASC), is one of the most significant annual gatherings for the Arctic research community. This year, it will take place from March 20-28 in Boulder, Colorado, featuring the Fourth International Conference on Arctic Research Planning (ICARP IV) Summit (March 25-28) which will play a crucial role in shaping Arctic research priorities for the next decade.

POLARIN project members will be actively participating in key sessions, showcasing how our integrated polar research infrastructures and open science initiatives are driving advancements in polar research. If you are attending ASSW, don’t miss these sessions where POLARIN will be in the spotlight:
