The Arctic Research Consortium of the U.S. (ARCUS) hosted an informational webinar entitled "ICARP III: Integrating Arctic Research—A Roadmap for the Future." This event was held Wednesday, 18 February 2015 and was open to anyone interested in learning more about the 3rd International Conference on Arctic Research Planning (ICARP III).
ICARP III aims at engaging all partners in shaping the future of Arctic research needs. Throughout the open process, the Arctic community has contributed to the overall objectives. The goal of the webinar wass to synthesize the ICARP III efforts and develop a sense of understanding on the project. Presenters included Dr. Volker Rachold (Executive Secretary, International Arctic Science Committee [IASC]), who addressed the planning process and activities leading up to the Fourth International Symposium on the Arctic Research (ISAR-4) and ICARP III Symposium at the Arctic Science Summit Week 2015; and Dr. Larry Hinzman (Director, International Arctic Research Center [IARC]) who discussed implications and value of ICARP III to the broader science community, stakeholders, and the public.
ARCUS is an ICARP III Steering Committee member, offering support for outreach to the public, education, and science communities.
