“Science isn’t finished until it’s communicated,” as Sir Mark Walport noted in 2023 – a perspective that strongly resonates with the project.

is now part of a new international initiative that brings together science communication efforts across three projects: , the Permafrost Discovery Gateway, and ILLUQ. This collaboration forms the International Permafrost Association’s (IPA) new Action Group, Frozen Facts and Stories, active throughout 2026–2027.

The group aims to develop visually engaging and impactful communication products, including fact sheets, infographics, presentation toolkits, and educational materials. These outputs are designed to make permafrost research more accessible, highlighting its societal relevance and supporting informed responses to rapid environmental change.

A first in-person workshop took place on 18 May on the island of Spetses, Greece, with discussions focusing on a series of fact sheets as a core product of the initiative.
