SUMMARY:APECS-EPB Webinar: The EU Arctic Cluster
LOCATION:Online
DESCRIPTION:In partnership with the European Polar Board (EPB) (http://www.europeanpola
 rboard.org/), APECS organises a series of webinars that aim to connect pola
 r research and policy. The webinars are aimed at polar researchers, policym
 akers and other professionals at all career stages.\nThe fourth EPB-APECS w
 ebinar will be held 13:00-14:00 (UTC) on Tuesday 5th June 2018. \nKristina 
 Bär, <a href="http://www.eu-polarnet.eu/">EU-PolarNet</a> Communications Of
 ficer, will introduce the EU Arctic Cluster (http://www.eu-polarnet.eu/eu-a
 rctic-cluster/) and how it is bringing together EU-funded polar research pr
 ojects to jointly maximise their impact.\nThe EU Arctic Cluster is a networ
 k of Horizon 2020 and a Framework Programme 7 funded Arctic projects, with 
 APECS being involved in four of them. Currently it comprises eight projects
 : <a href="https://applicate.eu/">APPLICATE</a>, ARICE (https://www.arice.e
 u/), <a href="http://blueaction.eu/index.php?id=3498">Blue-Action</a>, EU-P
 olarNet (http://www.eu-polarnet.eu/), <a href="https://www.ice-arc.eu/">ICE
 -ARC</a>, INTAROS (http://www.intaros.eu/), <a href="https://eu-interact.or
 g/">INTERACT</a> and NUNATARYUK (https://www.nunataryuk.org/). The Cluster 
 thus merges a broad spectrum of research and coordination activities - rang
 ing from the most up-to-date findings on permafrost and sea ice, from enhan
 cing observation to improving predictions, and from networking research sta
 tions to coordinating access to icebreakers.\nThe EU Arctic Cluster's objec
 tive is to bring the insights from various areas of expertise together in o
 rder to provide one entry point to EU funded Arctic research. Jointly the C
 luster aims to provide policy-relevant information and support the EU in im
 plementing its integrated policy for the Arctic.\nTo join the webinar, plea
