Collaborative Events

The EU Polar Cluster work together to increase our impact, minimise travel, and engage a wider range of stakeholders.

 

Upcoming event

  • An anchor point to a drifting world: is going to be about terrestrial research in Svalbard. Join us to learn about current research on terrestrial biology in Svalbard as well as knowledge gaps. For more details on the programme and registration, visit our webpage. 7th May.
  • KEPLER- Maritime and Research sector needs workshop on Wednesday 19th May 2021 (13:30- 17:00 CET). With contributions from ARCSAR and ARICE. Registration 
  • EPB ASM3 webinar series: Closing webinar - Post-Ministerial Review: Joint Statement and Actions 09 June 2021, 13:00-15:00 UTC

  • KEPLER Final General Assembly on Monday 21st June 2021 Please could you register here. KEPLER Final General Assembly Programme v1

  • Blue Action: Multi-annual to Decadal Climate Predictability in the North Atlantic-Arctic Sector 20-22 September 2021. The workshop aims to foster scientific exchanges and collaborations on multi-annual to decadal climate predictability, including research on: climate predictability from interannual to multi-decadal timescales and our understanding of the associated physical processes and their representation by models,   improvement of dynamical prediction systems, and increasing need for actionable information dependent on skillful climate predictions. Keynote speakers (including both prominent and promising scientists) have already confirmed their participation. We encourage scientists to submit abstracts into one of the sessions listed in the flyer and on the web page. The abstract deadline is 21 May 2021. To submit an abstract, click here.  Organisers:  EU H2020 Blue-Action, TMS Bjerknes Climate Prediction Unit, JPI Climate-Oceans ROADMAP project and the CLIVAR Atlantic Region Panel, CLIVAR/CliC Northern Oceans Region Panel and CLIVAR Climate Dynamics Panel. The workshop is also linked to the EU Climate Modelling Cluster, established by EASME/EC in 20218. Location: we are aiming for a hybrid format, with physical location in either Bergen (Norway) or Copenhagen (Denmark). A decision will be taken in June.

  • International ONLINE Conference for Young MArine REsearchers (ICYMARE): 21 - 24 September 2021. Call for Abstracts for ICYMARE 2021: a conference designed by and for young marine researchers. ICYMARE stands for “International Conference for YOUNG Marine Researchers”. No matter if you are a Bachelor, Master or PhD candidate, you are invited to present your research to (y)our dynamic audience with an atmosphere of being among friends. Get some first conference experience and start building your personaland international network. Submit your abstract, along with a short CV, to  by no later than 15 May.  By visiting www.icymare.com, you can find an abstract submission template and some guidelines for the presentations. Further details can be found on the event flyer here.
