Svalbard Science Forum (SSF) promotes Svalbard as a national and international research platform. Its tasks are to coordinate and facilitate research in Svalbard as well as providing information for researchers, managers and the public.
SSF aims to enhance collaboration and coordination within research in Svalbard with three funding programmes:
- Arctic Field Grants
- SSF Workshops

SSF supports students and researchers collecting data in Svalbard (and Jan Mayen). SSF also supports the further development and realisation of SSF prioritised areas as outlined in the SSF cooperation workshop reports and Ny-Ålesund flagship documents , and the initiation of new efforts to better coordinate research in Svalbard
