D1.6 International Cooperation Strategy

EU-PolarNet supports the implementation of the Transatlantic Research Alliance launched by the EU, US and Canada with the Galway declaration of 24 May 2013 by assisting the project partners in cooperating with US and Canadian research organisations and networks. It supports the European Commission in the “Trilateral EU-US-Canada Working Group” which explores potential areas of trilateral scientific cooperation in Arctic Research. The purpose of the D1.6 “International cooperation strategy” is to identify the relevant global partners to establish and secure a reliable cooperation for the benefit of European Polar Research. It identifies the important partners at a country level and not at an organisational level
