POLARIN: POLAR RESEARCH INFRASTRUCTURE NETWORK

POLARIN is an international network of polar research infrastructures and their services, aiming at addressing the scientific challenges of the polar regions. The network includes a wide array of complementary and interdisciplinary top level research infrastructures: Arctic and Antarctic research stations, research vessels and icebreakers operating at both poles, observatories, data infrastructures and ice and sediment core repositories. POLARIN will provide integrated, challenge-driven, and combined access to these infrastructures to facilitate interdisciplinary research on complex processes.

POLARIN will:
1. Provide challenge-driven transnational access to a large portfolio of research infrastructures.
2. Improve the access to data by improving data availability and interoperability between data infrastructures.
3. Provide virtual access to data and data services.
4. Provide data products for the scientific community and decision makers.
5. Train the young generation of polar researchers in optimally exploiting the infrastructures for their research.
6. Duly advertise the services offered by POLARIN and engage the infrastructure users to share their research outcomes with society.

Call for proposals is closed.
