The planning for ICARP IV is underway and IASC, together with the ICARP IV hosts, have commissioned an initial assessment on the impact and outcomes of the past three ICARP meetings in 1995, 2005 and 2015 to be presented at the Arctic Science Summit Week 2024 in Edinburgh, Scotland, UK in March 2024. We are asking all who have participated in a past ICARP conference to fill in this short survey and share your thoughts on the process, new collaborations you may have formed as a result and suggestions for the future. Deadline to complete the survey has been extended to March 10.
