The Horizon-CL6-2025-03-GOVERNANCE-10 funding call aims to improve and integrate polar observation systems to address challenges related to the monitoring of polar regions, enhancing their usability and interoperability. The objective is to develop a ‘system of systems’ approach for polar observation, ensuring long-term, integrated, and sustained monitoring systems that provide accurate data about polar environments. Proposals must focus on improving systems for monitoring the Arctic or Antarctic regions, specifically related to carbon cycles, biogeochemistry, sea ice dynamics, ice sheets, and other polar-specific factors. A key emphasis is on harmonizing data collection, processing, and management processes, with the goal of contributing to European and international environmental governance frameworks, like the Green Deal and UN 2030 Agenda. Proposals should also consider the coupling of in-situ and satellite observations to optimize polar research and improve prediction models, particularly for use by Copernicus services.
