One of the most important tasks for EU-PolarNet 2 was to prioritise research topics in polar research. Based on the results of the previous work of the EU-PolarNet consortium, particularly the five White Papers and the European Polar Research Programme (EPRP), the priority topics for European Polar Research over the next 10 years have been identified through an extensive and inclusive process.
The „Identification report of critical future research needs“ in the Polar Regions (EU-PolarNet 2 deliverable 3.5) was already published in November 2023. EU-PolarNet has now published the exercise and the results of the research prioritisation process in the form of a brochure. The brochure “European Polar Research Priorities” can be downloaded here.
