The European Polar Board Secretariat is moving

ESF would like to inform you that the European Polar Board secretariat will be moving to the Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research (NWO), its new location, as of 1st January 2015.

*The EPB has been hosted at ESF since its inception in 1995 as EMaPS (European Forum for Marine and Polar Science) to encourage the development of European co-operation in the fields of marine and polar science, which then evolved into two separate boards: the European Marine Board and the European Polar Board.

ESF is pleased to have hosted EPB since its inception in 1995 and wishes it every success in the future.

We should like to take the opportunity to inform you at the same time that a new EPB website has been launched and can be visited at: www.europeanpolarboard.org

* Based on the endorsement of the European Commission,  the European Committee for Ocean and Polar Sciences (ECOPS) and the European Science Foundation (ESF), the ESF Executive Council approved the establishment of the new European Forum for Marine and Polar Science (EMaPS), to encourage the development of European co-operation in the fields of marine and polar science. In October 1995 the European Boards for Marine and Polar Science held their inaugural meetings in Paris.
