Three different main themes were discussed during the meeting: 1) Current state of the Arctic Observation systems and Research Infrastructures, 2) Station and site collaboration, and 3) Arctic data collaboration and data portals. Addition to the presentations and discussions, the workshop participants had a chance to participate in a field trip to EISCAT Svalbard Radar at Gruve 7 fjellet and a permafrost site at Adventdalen.
