INTERACT brings together an advanced community to build capacity for identifying, understanding, and responding to diverse environmental changes throughout the Arctic and adjoining regions. The project provides a long-term legacy by mentoring and educating the next generation of researchers as well as by providing a one-stop-shop for provision of northern data and services. INTERACT brings together station managers, technology development experts, the scientific community as well as major international organisations and educational establishments, providing a well-balanced and truly integrated circumpolar network.
INTERACT has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programmeAPECS is participating in INTERACT particularly through the Station Managers Forum. This forum provides a platform for knowledge exchange between research station managers, project participants, as well as external partners and stakeholders. Contact Svenja Holste for more information.
Specifically, APECS is contributing to the project by producing training and outreach material for early career researchers:
- Fieldwork Planning Handbook (published in May 2019)
- Practical Field Guide (published in September 2019)
- Videos of INTERACT Stations
- Platform on Permits and Regulations for Arctic Fieldwork (published in July 2021)
- Guide on CO2 Reduction in Arctic Science (started in March 2021)
