Towards useful forms of co-production in metocean services for the European Arctic

This report presents the results of an online workshop organised in January 2021 by the
Socio-Economic Research and Applications group of the Polar Prediction Project (PPP-SERA). This,
so called, Special Services Workshop gathers researchers involved in current projects aimed at
co-producing environmental information services for maritime actors and sectors in Arctic waters.
The objectives of this workshop are to generate awareness about, to identify opportunities and
challenges of, and to draw lessons from co-production processes across these research projects.
The workshop will lead to shared insights and lessons on transdisciplinary network building,
engagement of and engaging with users, and on project management. In this report, we share the
insights from the workshop, with a focus on challenges of inter- and transdisciplinary collaboration,
integrating projects in Arctic user communities, and on bridging gaps between research, service
production and user applications.
