The European Union (EU) funded POLARIN project provides free of charge Transnational Access (TA) to research infrastructures for selected user groups. Transnational access can be either in-person, remote, or a combination of both. A list of participating polar research infrastructures, eligibility criteria, and complete guidelines for the application process can be found here.
Proposals submitted to the POLARIN TA Call 2024 must address at least one of the following research priorities:
- Sea Ice and Polar Oceans in the Climate System
- Polar Ice Sheets, Glaciers and Sea Level
- Terrestrial Carbon Cycle and Permafrost
- Polar Ecosystems and Biodiversity
- Atmosphere Dynamics and Chemistry
- Paleoclimate Processes and Variability
- Humans, Societies and Global Changes
Proposal submissions are to be sent in via the POLARIN Transnational Access Platform (TAP) by November 28, 2024 at 4 pm CET. Access decisions will be announced via the POLARIN TAP in mid-March 2025.
Applicants are invited to join a webinar on October 21 at 14:30-15:30 CET, which will include more information and Q&A session. Here is the Zoom link.
POLARIN is an EU-funded initiative that brings together an international network of polar research infrastructures. The project will run for five years from March 2024 to February 2029. It aims to address the scientific challenges of polar regions by providing integrated access to a wide array of high-level research infrastructures, including research stations in the Arctic and Antarctic, research vessels, icebreakers, observatories, and data repositories.
