The Swedish Research Council has announced a new call for a doctoral programme grant in polar research. The aim is to strengthen Sweden’s competence in the field, promote national and international collaboration, and secure the long-term supply of highly qualified researchers.
In June 2025, a team from the University of Leicester and the Swedish Polar Research Secretariat installed new instruments at the ICOS station in Abisko–Stordalen.
On Saturday, 16 August 2025, the Swedish icebreaker Oden reached the North Pole for the eleventh time since its inaugural voyage in 1991.
From 11 to 19 August, Julia Muchowski at the Swedish Polar Research Secretariat will serve as ECR Programme Coordinator aboard the research vessel R/V Skagerak during a nine-day research expedition to Greenland.
When Oden sets out into the Arctic Ocean from 9 August to 19 September for the Canada-Sweden Arctic Ocean 2025 expedition, an extensive Early Career Scientist program will be at the centre.
