INTERACT Non-Profit Association needs you
INPA is the sustainable, long term commitment to INTERACT's roles
WHY SHOULD MY STATION JOIN?
To continue international collaboration and the many INTERACT activities into the future
WHAT'S IN IT FOR ME?
• Sharing of knowledge and experiences
As a member of the INPA, you become part of a groups of stations that often share the same challenges of managing research stations in cold and harsh environments. INPA members share information and develop guidelines and good practices for research station management, including both station operations and visitor preparedness and safety documents.
• Meetings between station managers are arranged 1-2 times per year online or physically depending on available funding.
• Join INPA Access programmes
INPA operates three types of access programmes:
- Transnational Access
- Remote Access
- Virtual Access
A key aim for INPA is to secure funding for access programmes to INPA member stations. INPA therefore interacts with the Arctic research community to lobby and apply for grants that are then distributed among the participating stations.
• Join projects
Scientists working in the Arctic, often work out of research stations for logistical reason or for making use of existing data sets. As a member of INPA, research stations become part of the palette of research stations that scientists and organisations can include in project proposals.
