Th e value of International Collaborations and Networks in Polar Research
The 2017 annual symposium of the Netherlands Polar Programme (NP
P) aims at highlighting the importance of international collaborations and
networks in polar research. Networking and collaborations are essential for
the future of polar research in the Netherlands, from early career researc
hers looking to develop networks for research opportunities to the provisio
n of large-scale international research programmes to address pressing scie
ntific questions in polar regions. Speakers from different career stages an
d various disciplines are therefore invited to discuss the many aspects of
international partnerships, collaborations and communication that can lead
to a successful, commended and cost-effective polar research programme. We
welcome you to the annual symposium to discuss and celebrate these concepts
, and to increase the links already in place within the polar community.&nb
