The 17th International Conference on Port and Ocean Engineering under Arctic Conditions - POAC'03 was held in Trondheim, June 16-19, 2003 at NTNU.

POAC'03 was organised under the presidentship of the International POAC Committee and chairmanship of the Local Organising Committee of STRICE partner Prof. Sveinung Løset.

The conference focussed thematically on "Applied Ice Engineering in the Offshore Region" and incorporated a special session dedicated to presentation of results achieved in the STRICE project. This was the main event and an excellent opportunity for presentation of key-results and achivements of the STRICE project to the arctic and cold region science and engineering communitites.

The following presentations and publications were contributed by STRICE partners:
