Arctic SIZE organised and financed the 4th pan-Arctic Integration symposium, entitled “Towards a unifying pan-Arctic perspective of the contemporary and future Arctic Ocean”. These symposia have created the base for today’s pan-Arctic understanding, summarized in three volumes in Progress in Oceanography (2006: Structure and function of contemporary food webs on Arctic shelves: a pan-Arctic comparison. Progress in Oceanography 71: 123-477; 2011: Arctic Marine Ecosystems in an Era of Rapid Climate Change. Progress in Oceanography 90: 1- 131; 2015: Overarching perspectives of contemporary and future ecosystems in the Arctic Ocean. Progress in Oceanography 139: 1- 271). The 4th symposium, which also will result in a new volume in years to come, gathered 35 scientists from 8 countries. It took place from Friday 20/10 to Thursday 26/10 in the Istrian hill town of Motovun.
