Earlier this week, we hosted research fellows funded by @lr-foundation.bsky.social in partnership
@uarctic.bsky.social at the Lloyd’s Register Building. These fellows are investigating how ‘learning from the past’ can help address present and future challenges to the safety of people in the Arctic.
