Research Structure
SAMCoT’s research groups are divided into six different Work Packages (WPs):
WP1 Data Collection and Process Modelling;
WP2 Material Modelling;
WP3 Fixed Structures in Ice;
WP4 Floating Structures in Ice;
WP5 Ice Management and Design Philosophy;
WP6 Coastal Technology.
The organizational structure of each Work Package supports the inter-collaboration among SAMCoT Research
and Industry Partners as well as the international strategy of the Centre. The research strategy of the Centre
as well as the implementation of the activities are closely monitored by the Centre Management Group, which
reports to the EIAC, SAC and Board. In this section, we have furnished information on the main researchers
in each WP, as well as the SAMCoT PhD candidates, Postdocs and Master students for each. In addition, visual
examples of their research activities are provided.
