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)
