User engagement, dissemination and training

Description:

Work Package 7 has five primary objectives:

To increase the awareness about the impact of Arctic changes on the weather and climate of the Northern Hemisphere
To develop relevant forms of communication within and outside the EU (and possibly national) services to adequately spread results that could be used for either policy or socioeconomic action
To maximise exposure of the science produced to end-users, stakeholders and the public at large, as well as communicate project results, including collecting all available feedback, in order to assure knowledge sharing and knowledge exchange with stakeholders (Dissemination)
To contribute to servicing those socioeconomic sectors in the Northern Hemisphere that benefit from improved forecasting capacity (e.g. shipping, energy generation and mining) at a range of time scales, as well as enhancing their capacity to adapt to long-term climate change (end-user-engagement)
To improve the professional skills and competences for those working and being trained to work within this subject area (Training)

Work package 7 is led by Halldór Jóhansson from the Arctic Portal (AP); Dragana Bojović and Marta Terrado from the Barcelona Supercomputing Center (BSC); Gerlis Fugmann from the Alfred Wegener Institute (AWI)
