About EU-PolarNet 2

EU-PolarNet 2 is the world’s largest consortium of polar research expertise and infrastructures, composed by 25 partners representing all European Member States and Associated Countries which have well-established Polar Programmes.

The ambition of EU-PolarNet 2 is to establish a sustainable and inclusive platform to co-develop and advance European Polar research actions and to give evidence-based advice to policymaking processes. This platform will allow to further develop the coordination of Polar research actions in Europe and with overseas partners. By involving all relevant stake- and rightholders it will support the development of transdisciplinary and transnational Polar research actions of high societal relevance. To ensure that such an important platform is sustained after the end of EU-PolarNet 2, the project will work towards creating a permanent European Polar Coordination Office.

The objective of EU-PolarNet 2 is to provide a platform to co-develop strategies to advance the European Polar Research action and its contribution to the policy-making processes. In order to achieve this goal, EU-PolarNet 2 has six specific objectives with measurable outcomes assigned to the respective work packages that will address them.

Partners

The EU-PolarNet 2 consortium is constituted by 25 partners representing all European Member States and Associated Countries which have well-established Polar Programmes including the Associated Countries Iceland, Faroe Islands, Norway, Switzerland and Turkey, and the EU overseas territory of Greenland.

The inclusion of all the partners allows EU-PolarNet 2 to reach out to the entire European Polar community and to significantly advance European Polar research coordination and research prioritisation actions. Its all-European background and expertise gives EU-PolarNet 2 the possibility to provide evidence-based policy advice on behalf of the whole European Polar community, including stake- and rightholders.
