White Paper on Status of Stakeholder Engagement in Polar Research.

Abstract

Polar stakeholders include both Arctic and Antarctic stakeholders. However, while including both, the White Paper focuses more on the Arctic, as it is inhabited, and hence higher on the European agenda.

This white paper is targeted to support researchers and aims to serve as both as an eye-opener and as a tool for planning the next research projects and funding calls for funders.

This White paper includes set of recommendations and way forward for achieving successful stakeholder engagement for including the society and its challenges into the research.
