EU-PolarNet is the world’s largest consortium of expertise and infrastructure for polar research. An important objective of EU-PolarNet is to initiate, conduct and sustain an on-going dialogue and cooperation with all relevant stakeholders for the Polar Regions, including business and industry sectors. The World Ocean Council (WOC) is the international multi-industry business leadership alliance on ocean sustainability, science and stewardship, i.e. Corporate Ocean Responsibility. The WOC and EU-PolarNet worked together on a “Survey of polar commercial infrastructure” aiming at the “Identification of polar commercial infrastructures that could be made available to implement the Polar Research Programme”
