The proposed project aims to organising common fieldwork in various fields of Polar geosciences. This proposal of the Masaryk University (MU) and the University Centre in Svalbard (UNIS) is focused on geology, geomorphology, glaciology, meteorology, climatology, hydrology and limnology. Separate proposal connecting geosciences and life sciences is simultaneously presented by the University of South Bohemia in České Budějovice. Both these parts are common components of polar ecology and geosciences education and students share the theoretical part of the course. The project is intended to start intensive university education collaboration using field logistics capacities of MU and laboratory equipment of UNIS together with joining scientific teams of both institutions. The most important benefit is the offering possibility for common work of Czech and Norwegian students and enhancing their chances of further continuous collaboration in their scientific carriers.
