Ecologic Institute supports the Horizon 2020 project "Arctic Research Icebreaker Consortium" (ARICE) with Arne Riedel as an Ethics advisor. His role includes inter alia

  • giving advice on specific ethical issues that could occur in research projects to be conducted on the research icebreakers;
  • assessing cruise reports to confirm that H2020 ethical rules have been implemented;
  • participating in the project's Scientific Liaison Panel (without voting rights);
  • giving recommendations on ethical issues that might concern the project directly

The ARICE project brings together a team of 15 partners from 13 different countries from Europe, USA and Canada. The main objective of this four-year project is to improve the capacities for marine-based research in the ice-covered Arctic Ocean. A central aim of ARICE is to provide transnational access for European and non-European researchers, including their partners from industry, to a set of six international research icebreakers:

  • PRV Polarstern, Germany
  • IB Oden, Sweden
  • RV Kronprins Haakon, Norway
  • MSV Fennica, Finland
  • CCGS Amundsen, Canada
  • RV Sikuliaq, United States of America
