The INTERACT Fieldwork Planning Handbook has been produced within the framework of the EU Horizon 2020 infrastructure project INTERACT. It aims to ensure that you are well prepared for fieldwork at INTERACT stations and elsewhere in the Arctic and Alpine regions, providing an overview of all important aspects related to planning such fieldwork. The book has been jointly developed by early career scientists and research station managers, combining knowledge from two different perspectives: those just starting out on their careers and those with years’ worth of experience. While the main target audience of this book is early career researchers, we hope it will also be useful to anyone else involved in planning, coordinating and taking part in fieldwork at INTERACT stations and more broadly in the Arctic and Alpine regions. The Fieldwork Planning Handbook is divided into five chapters outlining how to plan and prepare for your fieldwork, through to what you need to think about when you are in the field, and continuing all the way to what you need to think of when you have returned safely back home. Each chapter first provides a brief overview of the theme covered, and then moves on to a more detailed description of various aspects related to that topic. In addition, external contacts and online resources are compiled at the end of each chapter
