INTERACT Non-Profit Association

INPA – is an INTERACT initiative. INTERACT is a network of 89 terrestrial field bases scattered across all Arctic countries and in adjacent northern alpine areas. INTERACT member stations annually host thousands of researchers from around the world and is seen as a major terrestrial research infrastructure network in the North with global recognition.

INPA offers the INTERACT Stations a long term sustainable platform to continue to play a major global role to build capacity for research and monitoring throughout the Arctic.

What you can do

The purpose of INPA is to support the use and operational procedures of infrastructures in Arctic, sub-Arctic, boreal and alpine regions, to support research and scientific development in the field of climate change and environment, and to increase general awareness about these topics within the general public and among politicians and decision makers.

To achieve the purpose, the main objectives of INPA are to improve international cooperation, to coordinate resources and research initiatives, to provide access to members’ infrastructures, to improve infrastructures’ operation and to financially support research and monitoring focusing on the Arctic, sub-Arctic, boreal and alpine areas and its global implications.

Specifically we aim to:
− support and facilitate research groups to access research stations in Arctic, sub-Arctic, boreal and alpine regions;
− support and facilitate the networking of these research stations to improve sharing of data, experience, standardized observations and human capital;
− provide a one stop shop for the Arctic in particular, accessible to the global science community including researchers, scientific programs, networks and organizations;
− make politicians, local residents and Indigenous People and other influential persons aware of climate change and environmental issues in the Arctic, sub-Arctic, boreal and alpine regions;
− support education at all levels both at home institutions and in the field
− other (e.g. interact with similar organisations in related environments such as mountain areas of the world and the Antarctic)
