Participating PolarCLIMATE Funding Agencies

^{**Dependent upon evaluation of scientific proposals}

Description of Funding Method: Virtual Common Pot

The funding in the PolarCLIMATE call was national.  There was complete control by the agencies over national funds. PolarCLIMATE aimed at funding the highest ranked proposals. The initial available budget per country was explicitly stated in the Call for Proposals. It provided realistic expectations to the applicants on the maximum number of projects to be funded in each country. An agency did not have to spend all the money that had been provisionally reserved, e.g. when there were no (more) projects of excellent scientific quality for that country. Some agencies were able generate extra money to fund good proposals.

Cooperation with Scientists and agencies from Outside of Europe

The PolarCLIMATE programme encouraged the establishment of partnerships with scientists and programmes outside of Europe (Eg; United States, Canada, China, India, Australia etc.) as Associated Partners. A number of External European Polar funding Agency managers were invited to liaise with the PolarCLIMATE Programme Board to enable the assessment of feasibility of international partnerships and the potential for funding and access to non-European polar research stations and polar logistics.
