The five white papers introduced here are a product of the EU-PolarNet; a project funded under H2020 for five years, involving a consortium covering a vast range of European expertise in both Antarctic and Arctic Research. EU-PolarNet includes natural and social scientists, providers of polar logistics and infrastructures, and key stakeholders. EU-PolarNet works with the European Commission on many aspects related to the Polar Regions, identifying and developing, most often jointly with stakeholders, the research needs and opportunities that are of high societal relevance to Europe. These activities will contribute to the development of an Integrated Polar Research Programme, which will be presented to the European Commission in 2020.
