Abstract :
[en] Research development in the Arctic and Antarctic play an important role in Russian policymaking.
Although, due to its size and bureaucratic complexity, there are unique challenges in regulating and
funding polar research in Russia, with its scientific networks and facilities widely covering various
domains related to the Arctic and Antarctic. Remoteness of the polar regions, necessity for continuous improvement of the polar research stations and other research facilities, as well as climate change and other challenges trigger the interest in a greater scientific cooperation both within Russia and internationally.
This document was prepared for the European Polar Board’s Action Group on International
Cooperation as a background paper with the aim to map Russian polar research actors and
infrastructure and to help EPB and its Members, as well as general public, navigate the country’s Arctic and Antarctic scientific landscape. It provides an overview of Russian policies and legal framework in the area of the Arctic and Antarctic research, its stakeholders and infrastructure, international cooperation in the polar regions, as well as funding.
The important part of this background report is its glossary. It is dedicated to recording major actors in Russian policymaking in the polar regions, academic institutions, and their fleet. The glossary is not exhaustive, but it provides a good outline of the actors involved and may be consulted separately from the main document. Notably, it includes the links and basic information on all the mentioned actors.
