Stiftelsen Nansen senter for miljø og fjernmåling

Scientific research benefits from international cooperation. In this NansenExchange programme the partners aim to contrast and compare approaches to modelling, data-model integration and comparison, and use of new data assimilation and AI methods, across different research environments and cultures. The NansenExchange’s objective is to stimulate increased north-south and south-south research cooperation, -recruitment, -skills and -project cooperation through mutual work exchange among young scientists at the international Nansen Centers. Thematically the first Rounds will focus on research tasks related to (1) marine living resources and their impact on local communities and (2) on climate predictability and teleconnections between higher (Polar) and lower latitudes. Exchange working visits will facilitate cross-training, work experience and improved collaboration by sharing knowledge, research tools, data and regional knowledge in fields such as remote sensing, climate and operational modelling, marine biology, fishery science as well as climate change and adaptation studies. The five individual and the common research strategies (from 2020) of the Nansen Centers participating in NansenExchange have common and diverse research strategies, priorities and goals. All strategies are aiming at contributing to international climate and environmental research development and at the same time being relevant for national adaptation and local use of the knowledge. The scientific knowledge gained by the Participants will be adopted in the home and host institutions and aims to improve both national and international model development and research. Joint research efforts are intended to lead to publications and improved public services, such as better ocean and climate forecasts.
