On February 26, HIT Polar Academy and HIT Training Center of UArctic were unveiled. Shi Zhaohui, deputy director of Heilongjiang Science and Technology Department, Wanping Zhang, Vice Major of Harbin, Xiong Sihao, standing deputy secretary of the Party Committee of Harbin Institute of Technology, Vice President Ren Nanqi, Lars Kullerud, Chairman of the UArctic (University of the Arctic), Vice-Chairman Outi Snellman and Riitta Rissanen, President of Lapin AMK attended the ceremony. The Polar Academy of Harbin Institute of Technology has 50 researchers, including academicians and scholars of the Yangtze River. Based on the principle of "recognizing the polar region, protecting the polar region and promoting sustainable development of the polar region", it will aim at the frontier of polar science, relying on 12 nation's key programs such as environmental science and engineering, physics, civil engineering, architecture, transportation engineering and biology of Harbin Institute of Technology. Focusing on the global persistent organic pollutant emissions and the impact of climate change on the polar ecological environment, the migration, transformation and fate of pollutants in the polar multi-media environment, polar magnetospheric physics and navigation research, we will actively carry out high-level research related to polar science through interdisciplinary and integration, and build a modern polar scientific research platform. International cooperation in polar scientific research will provide scientific, technological and intellectual support for China's polar research.
