This week nearly 1200 international scientists and researchers, Indigenous Knowledge holders, and community members from across the Arctic and beyond gathered at the University of Colorado Boulder in the United States for the Fourth International Conference on Arctic Research Planning (ICARP IV). This Summit brought together representatives of Arctic Indigenous Peoples in equal and respectful partnership with scientists, researchers, educators, and representatives from many organizations to identify future international Arctic research priorities for the coming decade.
The Third International Conference on Arctic Research Planning (ICARP III) was held in Toyama, Japan in 2015 and provided a framework to identify Arctic science priorities for the next decade; coordinate various Arctic research agendas; inform policy makers, people who live in or near the Arctic and the global community and build constructive relationships between producers and users of knowledge.
The Second International Conference on Arctic Research Planning (ICARP II) was held in Copenhagen, Denmark in 2005. It brought together scientists, policy makers, research managers, indigenous peoples, and others interested in and concerned about the future of Arctic research. ICARP II was structured around twelve major areas of potential research needs, each of which has been led by an international team of scientists and other experts.
The First International Conference on Arctic Research Planning (ICARP I) was held in Hanover, NH, USA, in 1995. It reviewed the state of Arctic science and resulted in a series of IASC-supported research projects
