On 18 September 2025, POLARIN hosted a webinar for Transnational Access (TA) users, providing researchers with key insights into the project and its research infrastructures. The event placed a special focus on the 2nd POLARIN TA Call, which opened on 1 September and will run until 30 October 2025.

The session opened with welcoming remarks from Hannele Savela, POLARIN TA Coordinator at the University of Oulu. This was followed by an introduction to the POLARIN project and its activities, presented by Veronica Willmott-Puig, POLARIN Project Manager at AWI.

Hannele then outlined the guidelines for applicants to the 2nd Transnational Access call, covering access modalities, eligibility criteria, priorities, data policy, and the application process. Attendees also received a practical demonstration of the POLARIN TAP online application platform, introduced by Vanessa Spadetto, POLARIN TA Assistant at INTERACT.

The webinar concluded with an interactive Q&A session, allowing researchers to clarify their questions before submitting applications.
