Project goal
PCAPS aims at improving the actionability, impact, and fidelity of environmental forecasting for human and environmental well-being in the Arctic and Antarctic regions.
PCAPS has an overarching project goal, as well as five main objectives.
Annual SG meetings
The PCAPS Steering Group (SG) meets annually, to discuss and plan the work and progress of PCAPS.
The SG meetings are hosted in different countries each year, allowing stakeholders from around the world to participate in-person as well as online.
The 2024 SG meeting was held in Hobart, Australia.
The 2025 SG meeting is scheduled to be held in Cambridge, UK.
Open sessions with stakeholders
Due to the transdisciplinary and complex nature of the issues that PCAPS aims to address, it is paramount to facilitate and integrate stakeholder and user expertise, experiences, and input into PCAPS’ work.
Regular workshops and feedback sessions will be held – both online and in-person – with stakeholders and partners globally. Most notably, PCAPS will host open local stakeholders sessions at different locations each year, in conjunction with the annual SG meeting.
Stakeholders and partners are also invited to be directly involved in the work of PCAPS task teams, to the extent they wish to be involved.
PCAPS webinars
PCAPS will host a recurring webinar series on various topics related to PCAPS’ activities and interests.
The webinar series will commence in Fall 2024.
