About the Polar Access Fund
The Polar Access Fund should enable young researchers to undertake a (first) field trip to a polar region (or a remote high-altitude area). The research conducted during the field trip must be inserted into an existing overarching project and be related to the issue of climate change.
The aim of the Polar Access Fund is to provide field access to a new generation of polar researchers, thus enabling successful applicants to gain critical experience in leading fieldwork and supporting their professional development.
The Polar Access Fund is an instrument co-funded by the Swiss Polar Institute (SPI) and the BNP Paribas Swiss Foundation.
The call for proposals is open until 16 January 2025, 12:00 (Swiss time).
The full call for proposals can be downloaded here.
