S\u00fcnnje Basedow (professor at UiT \u2013 The Arctic University of Norway) and Eva Leu (senior researcher at Akvaplan-niva) take over for Rolf Gradinger and Paul Renaud who have been leading this successful network for the past years. ARCTOS was founded in 2001 with the aim to enhance collaboration in Arctic marine biology across universities and research institutions in Northern Norway. It has helped greatly to make this research more visible internationally and has provided a home for several generations of early career scientists over the past decade and strengthened the collaboration of researchers across institutions. Over the years, the network has widened to include also research from disciplines adjacent to marine biology (e.g. physical and chemical oceanography, ecotoxocology), as well as Polar marine research in the Antarctic. More than 100 members commit to the network creating an inspiring and inclusive environment that has fostered various research initiatives (e.g., the Polar Front project) and important meeting places (e.g., Arctic Frontiers). S\u00fcnnje and Eva have both been members in the network since their early career scientist phase, and are looking forward to collaborate on leading it together with colleagues from all member institutions in the ARCTOS secretariat: UiT The Arctic University of Norway, Akvaplan-niva, the Norwegian Polar Institute, the Institute of Marine Research, UNIS \u2013 The University Centre in Svalbard and Nord University in Bod\u00f8. The official transition to the new leadership was marked during the annual Christmas lunch in Troms\u00f8 on December 11th, 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/arctos.uit.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Screenshot-2024-12-13-143220.png?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"860\" height=\"483\" data-attachment-id=\"1654\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/arctos.uit.no\/?attachment_id=1654\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/arctos.uit.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Screenshot-2024-12-13-143220.png?fit=1232%2C692&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1232,692\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Screenshot 2024-12-13 143220\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/arctos.uit.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Screenshot-2024-12-13-143220.png?fit=860%2C483&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/arctos.uit.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Screenshot-2024-12-13-143220.png?resize=860%2C483&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Five people standing in front of a window, two of them holding wrapped gifts. \" class=\"wp-image-1654\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/arctos.uit.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Screenshot-2024-12-13-143220.png?resize=1024%2C575&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/arctos.uit.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Screenshot-2024-12-13-143220.png?resize=300%2C169&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/arctos.uit.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Screenshot-2024-12-13-143220.png?resize=768%2C431&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/arctos.uit.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Screenshot-2024-12-13-143220.png?w=1232&amp;ssl=1 1232w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 860px) 100vw, 860px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">From the left: ARCTOS secretary Anna Miettinen (UiT), Eva Leu (Akvaplan-niva), S\u00fcnnje Basedow (UiT), Paul Renaud (Akvaplan-niva), and Rolf Gradinger (UiT).
