Distinguished scientists, NGO representatives, indigenous knowledge holders, and policymakers gathered at the Oceanographic Museum of Monaco from February 22-23, 2024, for the Polar Symposium 2024. Co-organized by SCAR, Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation, and the International Arctic Science Committee (IASC), in collaboration with the Oceanographic Institute of Monaco – the Prince Albert I Foundation, the Scientific Center of Monaco, the European Polar Board, and the World Economic Forum, the event aimed to foster collaboration and discussions.
The Symposium served as a platform for engaging workshops, shedding light on upcoming priorities in polar research and policy, and proposing future action plans.
An integral part of the Symposium was the PA2F-SCAR and PA2F-IASC Fellowship Awards Ceremony. His Serene Highness Prince Albert II of Monaco honored SCAR Fellows Hanna Yevchun (2022 PA2F-SCAR Fellow) and Dieter Tetzner (2023 PA2F-SCAR Fellow) with diplomas during the ceremony. Since 2022, the Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation has provided additional funding for SCAR Fellowships through the Polar Initiative.
