The New Canada-Inuit Nunangat-United Kingdom Arctic Research Programme is a new multi-year programme that will bring together teams of researchers from across Canada, Inuit Nunangat and the United Kingdom in innovative ways to understand and address the environmental, social, economic, cultural and engineering/infrastructure impacts of climate change in the Canadian Arctic. Full details of the announcement of opportunity are available here.
The launch of the programme follows the recent signing of a new agreement between funding partners in the United Kingdom and Canada.
As part of the call, the partners have created a platform for potential applicants to reach out to new collaborators, with the intent of fostering exchanges that could lead to partnerships in research. Please register here.
