The 1st Online Workshop, held on 24 and 25 October 2024, was an international online event organised by the Latin Group of Polar Sciences*, supported by various organisations across the three nations, including the Atlantic Centre, Polar Research and Policy Initiative, APECS Brasil, APECS Italy, Associação David Melgueiro, and the Società Italiana di Storia Militare. Participants from Brazil, Italy, and Portugal collaborated with the Escola Superior de Defesa in Brazil.
During the two-day workshop, which featured six sessions, both civilian and military scholars, along with early career researchers, engaged in discussions on significant Arctic topics. These included the military presence in the region, China's role in the Arctic, comparisons of indigenous communities between Norway and Brazil, aviation challenges, and the concept of a so-called Mediterranean Arctic.
The workshop provided a Report containing a concise overview of the two-day event. It outlines the subjects addressed during the six sessions and introduces the organisers and supporters of this initiative, with special mention of the Atlantic Centre (AC) and Polar Research and Policy Initiative.
