How to increase the international recognition of Swedish Polar science?

Speaker: Katarina Gårdfeldt, Director General of the Swedish Polar Research Secretariat

As a government agency, the Swedish Polar Research Secretariat is mandated to co-ordinate and promote Swedish polar research. The agency’s primary mission is to organise and support research expeditions to the polar regions and manage research infrastructure. The Secretariat also helps to create favourable conditions for polar research that does not involve fieldwork.

During my presentation I will present the agency's research infrastructure, ongoing activities, and strategy on national and international polar collaborations.
