The Arctic Office is a partner in the EU project Arctic PASSION. On May 22-25 in Baveno/Italy, the second annual project meeting took place. Here, project partners had the opportunity to get to know each other personally, to exchange information about current progress and further procedures, and to create new crosscutting links. The Arctic Office organized an event on "Policy dialogue in Arctic PASSION - How can we help?". Participants discussed how to communicate with policy makers, how to deal with the Russian war in Ukraine as well as how to fund research activities and (financially) engage Indigenous and local Arctic communities.
