The Third Arctic Science Ministerial (ASM3) webinar series invites registration for their next webinar titled, Addressing Gaps and Barriers in International Arctic Science Research. This webinar will be held Wednesday, 11 November 2020, 13:00-15:00 UTC (4:00-6:00 a.m. AKST; 8:00-10:00 a.m. EST).
As part of the ASM3 process, organizers will be hosting a special webinar on the gaps and barriers in international Arctic research. The webinar will be opened by with a summary of the feedback received from ASM3 participating countries and organizations to a series of questions about international research gaps, opportunities, and challenges. Next on the agenda will be a panel of speakers presenting recent synthesis reports on research gaps and lessons-learned from projects that have navigated many international barriers with a short question and answer following. After the panel, participants will have the opportunity to participate in breakout sessions addressing a) data and infrastructure; b) education and capacity building; c) sustained observations; d) societally relevant research; and e) visas, permits, and other bureaucratic hurdles. The breakout sessions aim to develop and prioritize actions needed to more effectively address challenges and barriers to international Arctic research efforts. The resulting prioritized actions will form the basis of recommendations published in the ASM3 report.
ASM3 also invites input to their Community Input Survey on Gaps and Barriers in International Arctic Research. This survey is a companion to the 2nd ASM3 webinar on gaps and barriers. To gather more community input for ASM3, the organizers have put together a short survey asking for suggestions for policy-level actions to address research gaps and barriers to increased international collaboration.
Input received before 9 November will be included in the breakout session discussions on prioritized actions. Input received after this date, but before closing on 20 November, will be synthesized and incorporated into the results from the webinar as much as possible.
