Last week, EU-PolarNet convened 50 experts in La Cristalera, a conference facility which the Autonomous University of Madrid owns in Miraflores de la Sierra to develop and draft white papers on Polar research topics of high societal relevance. These white papers are an important milestone for EU-PolarNet and are a key step towards the Integrated Polar Research Programme, which we have to develop in EU-PolarNet.
