About the database
This  database is a tool to provide information about ongoing and planned scientific research in Svalbard, and is intended to facilitate coordination and cooperation of research and field activities.
It is fully electronic and replaces the annual project catalogue 'Research in Svalbard RiS'. All information from this catalogue has been implemented in the new database and thus is searchable also in the future.
Each registered project has a unique ID, the RiS-ID. You will need this RiS-ID, when applying for permission at the Governor of Svalbard (www.svalbardscienceforum.no/pages/news255.htm) and when booking facilities in Ny-Ålesund (http://research.kingsbay.no/).
In addition to the project registration modul there is also a metadatabase for datasets. Please add information about datasets collected in Svalbard to this modul. The RiS database only collects metadata about datasets and not the datasets itself. However, you can add a link to the dataset during the registion in order to make your dataset available to others.
For a short "how-to" for the database read http://www.ssf.npolar.no/pages/news130.htm
 
Your contribution needed
The database is only as valuable as its contents, and we very much appreciate your assistance in submitting the relevant information on your project and data, regardless of scientific level. Any research effort, from a master’s thesis to large-scale, multinational programmes, holds a potential interest to other scientists.
 
Plans for the future
The final version of the database is intended to be a one-stop-only platform for researchers in Svalbard, within which all information, application for permissions and reporting will be combined.
The database will also be extended with a mapping system, including information on field activities and regulations. The aim is to provide a tool to easily get an overview of research in Svalbard (What? Where? When? Who? How?) and to avoid undesirable duplication of research activities.
A sketch of the final database can be found here.

Disclaimer
The Svalbard Science Forum webportal's intention is to facilitate scientific research in Svalbard. The  information is intended to  cover the needs of  the most common and typical research activities. However, the information is not exhaustive, and may be inadequate for specific cases, such as the handling of radioactive substances or other. The responsibility to obtain all the required and relevant permits rests with the principal investigator.
