The Interagency Arctic Research Policy Committee (IARPC) will host a webinar entitled "Outcomes from ASSW, ISAR, and ICARP 2015" on Tuesday, 19 May 2015 from 3:00-5:00 p.m. EDT. This event, the third in a series of webinars hosted by IARPC, is open to the public.
Speakers Larry Hinzman, Vice President and U.S. Delegate to the International Arctic Science Committee (IASC) and David Hik, President of IASC and Chair of the 3rd International Conference on Arctic Research Planning (ICARP III) will summarize outcomes of the 2015 meetings in Toyoma, Japan that included the Arctic Science Summit Week (ASSW) 2015, International Symposium on the Arctic Research (ISAR), and ICARP III.
These meetings brought together nearly 700 international scientists, students, policymakers, research managers, and indigenous peoples interested in developing, prioritizing, and coordinating plans for future arctic research. The conference was a critical step in an international arctic research planning process involving scientists from 27 countries working to improve understanding of the consequences of changes taking place in the Arctic and their connection to global environmental, economic, and social processes. The overarching messages that emerged during these meetings will be discussed during this webinar.
A video of the webinar will be released on the IARPC Collaborations website: http://www.iarpccollaborations.org.
