With ongoing environmental changes in polar regions during the last couple of decades, the Arctic, Antarctic, and High Mountains (the “third pole”) have become a focus for sustained research. Planning and implementation of research projects in the polar regions often involve many uncertainties, including large budgets, complicated logistics, unique risk management, and international collaboration. While these issues need to be considered by operating personnel, there is an increasing demand to employ professional project managers and community managers able to support their colleagues’ operations in the polar regions. In order to address these critical issues, the survey “Project Management and Community Management in Polar Sciences: Challenges and Opportunities” has been developed and launched in February 2018. General aim of the survey was to learn about the demanded expertise and knowledge of project management and community management professionals as well as the most common challenges they face when implementing their projects. In total we have received n=260 answers from experts in community and project management implementing their activities in the Arctic (64% of respondents), Antarctic (63%), and High Mountain (12,4%). Survey answers have revealed different angles of lessons learnt throughout many years of expertise which should be more extensively discussed within polar community and will be highlighted in this presentation.
