Polar Connect Vision 2030 Webinar – September 2023

Polar Connect Vision 2030 Webinar – September 2023

On 7 September 2023, the Polar Connection Vision 2030 webinars delved deeper into the latest insights shaping the future of one of the four sections of the European Data Gateways, namely the North Atlantic and Arctic section.

Highlights from the webinars include exploration of arguments underpinning the necessity for a resilient submarine cable system in the Arctic Ocean, and the actual feasibility of this ambitious endeavour. Distinguished speakers illustrated how the Arctic route offers the potential to improve and secure backbone connectivity for Europe and our partners in Asia and North America. To this should be added, the multiple benefits and opportunities such a route will offer to the scientific community.

The perspectives and insights shared during the webinars are invaluable contribution shaping the future of Arctic Connectivity.

To accommodate participants from various time zones, it was possible to choose between two different timeslots. This ensured that attendees could conveniently join and engage with the panellists, regardless of their geographical location.

We are immensely grateful to the participants of the Polar Connect Vision 2030 webinars for joining and look forward to further collaborative efforts in advancing the Arctic Connectivity.

Presentations and recordings from the webinar can be found here.
