Who we are

INTERACT Non-Profit Association is the legacy of INTERACT. INTERACT - International Network for Terrestrial Research and Monitoring in the Arctic - is a network of 99 terrestrial field bases scattered across all Arctic countries and in adjacent northern boreal and alpine areas. 

INTERACT has become a popular platform for scientific collaboration and for facilitating field work in the Arctic. With around 15,000 researchers accessing over 90 research stations annually, providing advice to governments, reaching millions through outreach, offering educational resources in over 60 countries, and practising science diplomacy, INTERACT has been recognized as an 'EU Success story' multiple times.

INTERACT Non-Profit Association offers the INTERACT stations as a long-term science platform to implement scientific priorities and address societal challenges at local to global levels.
