Now Available: IARPC Collaboration Team Leaders Workshop Report and Annual Calendar

June 30, 2017
By Jessica Rohde

Collaboration Team Leaders IARPC came together in Anchorage, Alaska on March 22-23, 2017, for a two-day workshop. The purpose was to provide the team leaders with an opportunity to engage with one another at the launch of the implementation of new Arctic Research Plan 2017-2021 (hereafter “the Plan”).

The workshop had four key objectives:

  1. Encourage intra-and inter-team communication and collaboration;
  2. Develop first-year annual work plans;
  3. Explore cross-cutting themes to reduce duplication and encourage collaboration;
  4. Empower team leaders with tools and support, and energize them to actively support implementation of the Plan.

Review our workshop report for more information about our activities in Anchorage and our Collaboration Team Meeting Annual Calendar to see what our teams are planning to discuss in the coming year. 

With annual plans in hand and networked team leaders at the ready, IARPC looks forward to successfully implementing Arctic Research Plan 2017-2021, forming new collaborations, and accelerating the pace of Arctic research.

Is this the next best step? Do the objectives of the two groups align? Firn processes. What do we know about the wet firn? What do we know we don't know? What do we think we can know?
