European Polar Science Week 2020 will take place online! The European Polar Science Week is one of the first results of increased cooperation between the European Commission (Directorate General for Research and Innovation) and the European Space Agency. It takes place from October 26-30 2020.

The overall objective of the European Polar Science Week is to bring together the European Polar science community, and reinforce European cooperation for Polar Science.

INTAROS collaborators will take part in the conference in several ways:

26th October: 

Nicole Biebow, AWI, chairs opening session, "European Cooperation in Polar Science for Global Challenges";

Verónica Wilmott, AWI, chairs session, "EU-PolarNet 2 - A Key Building Block for Reinforced Cooperation".

27th October:

Nicole Biebow, AWI, contributes to session "Highlights of EU Polar Cluster Projects"; including a contribution from Thomas Jung, AWI, on "Improving the accuracy of climate predictions in the Northern Hemisphere, Projects: APPLICATE, BLUE-Action, INTAROS".
