AC2020

In December 2020, Arctic Change will make history by going virtual for the first time
ever. ArcticNet’s international Arctic science conference takes place every 3 years,
bringing together researchers and partners from around the world. This year, we’re
taking the conference to you! Building on the success of our previous Annual Scientific Meeting
while facing the realities of our times, we are pulling out all the stops to reach a bigger
audience than ever before. The ArcticNet Network of Centres of Excellence and our partners
warmly invite the global Arctic community to join us—from wherever you are—at the
Arctic Change 2020 Virtual Conference.

#AC2020

The Arctic is experiencing an unprecedented change in its sea and terrestrial ice, permafrost, and ecosystems under the triple pressures of climate change, industrialization and modernization. The impacts of these pressures can be seen on food and energy security, shipping, sovereignty, northern community health and well-being, and sustainable development and resource exploitation. All these issues have brought the North to the forefront of national and international agendas. Circumpolar nations face an increased demand to enhance the observational capacity and understanding of this region to ensure that the best information possible is available to support evidence-based policy and decision-making. Science and knowledge mobilization play a pivotal role in this process.

Arctic Change 2020 will bring together leading Arctic researchers, Northern community representatives, graduate students, government and industry partners and stakeholders from all fields. During the week, the world’s foremost northern scientists will discuss the emerging global challenges and opportunities arising from climate change and modernization in the circum-Arctic. With over 1500 participants expected to attend, Arctic Change 2020 will be one of the largest trans-sectoral international Arctic research conferences ever held in Canada.

I was impressed by the variety and number of research going on in the Arctic region. The poster session is a great opportunity for researchers to display their work event if they are not necessarily presenting at a session.

I appreciated being in the presence of many partners and collaborators at the same time and being able to discuss in person next steps, proposals and more; introducing other project members.

My students had the opportunity to interact with other researchers and gain valuable feedback on the work they are doing. The topical sessions were excellent and gave a really good range of options.

The most important aspect of Conference for me was coming together and seeing where everyone is at in terms in our understanding of climate change and how the Arctic is being affected and will affect the earth, and most importantly how we can solve it.

Person 5

I attended primarily for a side meeting. The most important aspect of the Conference for me was the time taken to speak to other participants on topics of new research findings and collaborations.

Person 4

You guys are the best conference organizers in the Arctic science world

Person 3

Networking opportunities with the Who's who of Arctic research in Canada. A great snapshot of Canadian Arctic research in one place. Major involvement and participation of indigenous researchers and stakeholders is unique to the AN conference. 

Person 2

The amazing mix of Arctic researchers, which allows for meetings with current collaborators, colleagues, and networking to set up new collaborations. This aspect in invaluable.
