The Arctic Research Consortium of the U.S. (ARCUS) and the Interagency Arctic Research Policy Committee (IARPC) Collaborations invite registration for the 2nd Arctic Funders Meet and Greet networking event. This event will convene on Tuesday, 10 December 2019 from 3:00-5:00 p.m. in Monterey I at the Hotel Nikko in San Francisco, California.

The Arctic Funders Meet and Greet will provide an informal opportunity for Arctic researchers to connect in-person with multiple agency program officers to gain insight into each organization’s Arctic research interests. The event has been planned using a “speed networking” format that will allow representatives from each funding organization to meet with small groups of up to 10 people for approximately 10-15 minutes at a time. Researchers will be invited to move between tables hosted by agency staff in a round-robin small group format. Small group conversations will explore the Arctic research interests of each funding organization, how proposals are evaluated for funding consideration, or provide an opportunity to address a handful of specific questions that would be appropriate for group discussion.

Representatives from the following Arctic research funding agencies will be in attendance:

  • U.S. National Science Foundation,
  • NOAA's Arctic Research Program,
  • NASA's Cryosphere Program,
  • U.S. Arctic Research Commission,
  • U.S. Office of Naval Research, and
  • International Arctic Science Committee (IASC).

There is no cost to participate and attendees do not need to be registered for the American Geophysical Union (AGU) Fall Meeting to attend this event.
