The mission of the Center is to conduct independent and collaborative scientific research on polar- related sciences, addressing the critical challenge posed by climate change, environmental degradation, and the impact of human activities on polar ecosystems.
The Center aims to be a key contributor in filling the knowledge gaps in polar sciences by studying the cryosphere, oceans, and landscape, aligning with global initiatives like the 5th International Polar Year (IPY) 2032-33.
The Centre is focused on three key areas – Polar Climate, Cryosphere and Polar Oceans.
