Arctic Research Collaboration Workshop

Date & Time

Friday, 16 April from 9:00am - 1:00pm AK/10:00am - 2:00pm PT/11:00am - 3:00pm MT/12:00pm - 4:00pm CT/1:00 - 5:00pm ET

Location

This event will take place virtually on Zoom.

Format

In the first half of the workshop, participants will hear from a panel of experienced inter-/transdisciplinary researchers as they share examples of successful collaborative research projects and reflect on the processes that support project conceptualization, disciplinary integration, and effective engagements with local communities. In the second half of the workshop, participants will break into small groups for a hands-on “collaboration sprint” exercise designed to help project teams identify and define specific research problems that might be used to stimulate ongoing research collaboration.

Cost

There is no cost to participate.

How to Join

Both individuals and teams are invited to apply to participate in the workshop by Wednesday, 17 March 2021. Space is limited, however, so we do encourage interested parties to only submit an application if they are confident they would be able to attend.

More About the Arctic Research Collaboration Event Series

This event is a follow-up to a 2-day workshop that took place at UC Irvine in fall 2019 and is Part 2 of a 3-part event series that UCI, ARCUS, and IARPC have organized to support transdisciplinary team development for Arctic research collaboration. Part 1 of the series was an Arctic Researcher Speed Networking event that took place on 5 February 2021 to help facilitate introductions and connections across disciplines. Part 3 of the series will be an Arctic Research Funders Meet & Greet event taking place on Friday, 7 May 2021 to help researchers learn more about current Arctic research funding opportunities and connect them with funding agency program officers.
