International Network for Terrestrial Research and Monitoring in the Arctic

INTERACT, an EU-funded infrastructure project, is a growing circum-arctic network of almost 60 terrestrial field bases in northern Europe, Russia, US, Canada, Greenland, Iceland, the Faroe Islands and Scotland. INTERACT is actively building capacity for research and monitoring in the European Arctic and beyond, and is offering access for hundreds of researchers at numerous research stations through its Transnational Access program.

INTERACT is the only comprehensive multi-disciplinary network of terrestrial research stations in the North and it is led by EU funding. Of all the existing and developing organisations in the Arctic and beyond, INTERACT through EU funding is the only one that is implementing agreed monitoring and research activities throughout the North. INTERACT is a one-stop shop for information in the Arctic and adjacent high alpine areas. INTERACT has received enormous national, regional and global visibility and is now contributing to processes such as SAON (Sustaining Arctic Observing Networks), ICARP III (Third International Conference on Arctic Research Planning), GEO (Group on Earth Observations).
