This workshop, organized by the Association of Polar Early Career
Scientists (APECS), the International Arctic Science Committee (IASC),
and the Arctic Monitoring and Assessment Program (AMAP), will convene in
conjunction with the International Conference on Arctic Science:
Bringing Knowledge to Action and will be open to all conference
participants.
Participants will have a chance to learn more about scientific
assessments, best practices in translating and communicating science and
knowledge into action, and how individual scientists can make their
voice heard. Workshop outcomes will contribute with the discussions on
the last day of the conference.
Workshop Summary:
There is an urgent, recognized need to bridge the gap between science
and policy/decision-makers/Arctic communities to enhance the use of
scientific knowledge as a basis for decision-making. Assessments
document and provide the critical knowledge on changes in the Arctic
region and contribute to international processes and negotiations on
climate change, pollutants, development, biodiversity, and more.
Scientific assessments are principal mechanisms for harnessing
scientific information to inform policy- and decision-making.
A scientific assessment is, however, far more than just a final report
or deliverable, it is the entire multi-year process, within which expert
knowledge is gathered, evaluated, and interpreted before it is
communicated to decision-makers and other audiences.
Early career researchers have can apply for partial travel support
provided by IASC.
Travel support deadline: Wednesday, 5 April 2017.
Registration deadline: Saturday, 15 April 2017.
