“EO-PERSIST” brings together staff from academia and industry, establishing a unique fertile collaborative research and innovation environment to promote pioneering research and socioeconomic studies implementation in the Arctic. A strong inter-sectoral experienced research team, of five (5) academic and five (5) industrial partners, coming from Greece (3), Finland (1), Sweden (1), Germany (1), Poland (1), Romania (2), and Italy (1) constitute the project’s consortium.
