This seminar will discuss the ongoing successful collaboration which started in 2017 during the UK-Russia Year of Science and Education and continued with the organisation of joint meetings and discussions followed by the implementation of two (2019 and 2020) Arctic and Siberian field courses for the UK and Russian early career researchers (ECRs), as well as the current project “Arctic Science Priorities Project”, which evaluates the gaps, challenges and ways forward for the bilateral cooperation.
