Ministers and officials representing eight states with territory in the Arctic, 14 other governments and the European Union gathered in Washington to “assert the importance of improving collaborative science efforts in the Arctic.”

Poland was represented by Teresa Czerwińska, deputy minister of science and higher education, who said: “Poland is not commonly associated with the Arctic, but since 1957 we have a research station located at Hornsund, on [the island of] Spitsbergen.”
