APPLICATE at ASSW21

In just a few days the 2021 edition of the Arctic Science Summit Week (ASSW) will officially start, gathering scientists, early career researchers, stakeholders and decision makers to meet (virtually) and discuss achievements and updates on Arctic research. As most of the meetings in the last year, the ASSW 2021, originally planned to take place in Portugal, has been moved online to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic.

On Wednesday 24 March 2021 the session on “Arctic Climate Change and its Impacts on Weather and Climate in the Midlatitudes”, co-organised by APPLICATE, INTAROS and Blue-Action projects, will start at 8:00 GMT. This session will bring together research scientists from a diverse range of disciplines and projects, including EU Polar Cluster projects, as well as stakeholders from around the globe. The aim is to exchange knowledge and share experiences and novel results on how Arctic’s warming influences weather and therefore impact human activities, in midlatitudes.

All the information on the session and the whole programme of ASSW21 can be found on the event’s website. Remember to get involved with us on social media tagging @applicate_eu on Twitter!
