1 International Network for Terrestrial Research Stations in the Cold North

2 About INTERACT INTERACT is a network of more than 75 research stations located in the Arctic and northern alpine and forested areas. The network builds capacity for identifying, understanding, predicting and responding to environmental change. It brings together managers of research stations, facilitates coordinated research and monitoring, and put scientists in the field through a Transnational Access funding programme. INTERACT is funded by EU Horizon 2020: INTERACT was funded by EU 7 th Framework Programme during See more on

3 INTERACT Station Managers Forum The INTERACT Station Managers Forum facilitates knowledge exchange between research station managers and between managers and other partners and stakeholders. The Forum collects and dissemi nates information from participating research infrastructures related to ecosystem monitoring and all aspects of station management. The forum has produced the following publications: INTERACT Station Catalogue INTERACT Management Planning INTERACT Research and Monitoring Find these on

4 INTERACT Transnational Access INTERACT offers access to research stations and their data through its Transnational Access, Remote Access and Virtual Access activities. Transnational Access means free of charge, transnational access to research infrastructures or installations for selected user groups. Remote Access means free of charge sampling or data collection by station staff at research stations. Virtual Access means free access to metadata and data collected by the research stations. Learn more about the results of the INTERACT Transnational Access from the popular science book, INTERACT Stories of Arctic Science. Annual calls and TA publications are posted on

5 INTERACT Joint Research Activities INTERACT cooperates with a number of scientific organisations and networks to facilitate science coordination. INTERACT also includes Joint Research Activities on: Rapid response to environmental emergency alerts Improving and harmonizing biodiversity monitoring Developing drone technology for scaling up from research stations Adapting to environmental change Read more on

6 Rules Highest vs Lowest (1/2) This INTERACT Card Game can be played by all. It is a competitive card game for two or more players where the winner ends up with all the cards. Start: Choose a person to start. If you cannot agree, the youngest will start. All cards are dealt to the players. The cards are piled in front of each player with the back side up. For short games, start with a random subset of the cards. How to play: All players draw the top card of their pile. The starting player selects a parameter that determine who wins the round. The winner of the round collects all cards and put them under the winner s card pile. The winner then choose the parameter and the game continues until one player has all the cards. If values are identical, the players with identical values draws a new card and compete in the same parameter until there is a winner of the round.

7 Rules Highest vs Lowest (2/2) Which is best (3 versions of the game) Simple: Highest number wins, except Annual Temperature where lowest wins. Medium: Agree beforehand, which is the best (highest or lowest) for individual parameters. Advanced: The starter/winner of the round can determine which is the best (highest or lowest) when the parameter is called out.

8 Rules Know your stations (1/2) This INTERACT Card Game requires some knowledge of numbers and the natural environment. It can be played by three or more players, where the winner ends up with the highest pile. Start: Choose a person to start. If you cannot agree, the youngest will start. Place all cards in one main pile with the back side up. How to play: The starting player takes the top card of the pile. The starting player calls out the name of the station and selects a parameter. The other players (clockwise from the starting player) must try to guess the value of the selected parameter. Guesses cannot be duplicated by other players. When all other players have made their guess, the starting player calls out the true value and the player closest to this value wins the card and put it in a personal pile in front of the player.

9 Rules Know your stations (2/2) If two persons are equally close to the true value, the player who selected the parameter, selects another parameter from the same station card. The two remaining players compete until there is one winner. The player left of the starting player then takes the top card of the main pile and selects a parameter and the game continues until there are no more cards in the main pile. The winner is the player with most cards in their personal pile. Advanced version: For each station card players must try to guess all parameters. The player with most correct parameters wins the card. If more players have the same number of wins, the one with the first won parameter wins the game.
