The aim of CoARIce project is to ‘Improve knowledge and build expertise through international academic collaboration to better understand the ice accretion on structures and technological developments to combat icing’. Better knowledge about ice accretion physics from CoARIce project will bring together academics, researchers and industry to share information on the latest developments in this field and will increase understanding of partner institutes about future demands for safe operations in ice prone regions. Involvement of students will provide them a learning curve to know more about icing.

The overall goals of the CoARIce project are:

• To educate people (staff/students) about icing on structures and cold climate technology. Joint master’s degree courses about cold climate and atmospheric ice accretion on structures will be developed.
• To establish research oriented teaching and learning of students to meet the future industrial demands in high north about atmospheric icing, keeping in view the ongoing/future infrastructure development.
• To expand student learning experience and knowledge about cold climate/atmospheric icing through joint projects (bachelor/master/PhD thesis) and two-way mobility. The students will be involved in the ongoing research projects of partner institutes, so that they can understand and solve real time icing problems by working with mainstream researchers of icing from partner institutes.
• To establish a joint international lab-based infrastructure by sharing the icing related lab facilities of each partner institute for use by staff and students and to jointly supervise the students. Exchange visits of student/staff members will be arranged to enhance academic/research activities through mutual access to the research facilities of partner institutes.
• To organize seminars/workshops/guest lectures to enhance the learning of staff/students about atmospheric icing on structures and sharing knowledge.
