LOCATION:Online
DESCRIPTION:<p style="text-align: justify;">Registration is now open for the webinar '<
 strong>European Perspectives on the Arctic Science Ministerial Process</str
 ong>', to be held <strong>10:00-11:30 CEST on Wednesday 28th April</strong>
 . The webinar is organised jointly by the European Polar Board and EU-Polar
 Net 2.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Since being initiated in 2016, Ar
 ctic Science Ministerial (ASM) meetings and their associated activities hav
 e provided a key, high-level coordinating platform for global research in t
 he Arctic. We are now approaching the 3<sup>rd&nbsp;</sup>Arctic Science Mi
 nisterial (ASM3), due to be held in May 2021, co-organised by Iceland and J
 apan. The last year has also been influential with many high-level developm
 ents within in European polar research community, such as the development o
 f the new EU Arctic policy, the release of the European Polar Research Prog
 ram, EU-PolarNet 2,&nbsp;the EU Polar Cluster, and the ESA Polar Science Cl
 uster, among&nbsp;many others. This webinar thus aims to explore a European
  perspective on the ASM process, including underlining&nbsp;developments si
 nce ASM2 and contributions to ASM3. The webinar will further explore how ex
 isting structures and entities for coordination of polar research in Europe
  help to facilitate the activities working towards the aims of ASM, nurturi
 ng a strong and cohesive European community for Arctic research.</p><p styl
 e="text-align: justify;">Speakers from a range of European entities working
  to coordinate different aspects of Arctic science and research will discus
 s how these initiatives align with ASM objectives in the context of the fou
 r ASM3 Themes: Observe, Understand, Respond, and Strengthen.</p><p style="t
