Together in the study of a changing Arctic ArcticNet is funded by the Government of Canada through the Networks of Centres of Excellence program, a joint initiative of the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council, the Canadian Institutes of Health Research, the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council and Industry Canada. Understanding the transformation of the Arctic environment is one of the great challenges faced by Canadians, the Canadian government and the national and international scientific communities. ArcticNet brings together scientists and managers in the natural, human health and social sciences with their partners from Inuit organizations, northern communities, federal and provincial agencies and the private sector to study the impacts of climate change and modernization in the Canadian Arctic. Over 150 ArcticNet researchers and 1000 graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, research associates, technicians and other specialists from 34 Canadian universities and numerous federal and provincial departments and agencies collaborate on 41 research projects with more than 150 partner organizations from 14 countries. ArcticNet is hosted at Université Laval, Quebec City, Canada. ArcticNet Inc.

Student Day Program

2017 ARCTIC CHANGE STUDENT DAY PROGRAM Addressing Arctic change requires cooperation and collaboration between a range of states, Indigenous communities, researchers, and other stakeholders around the world. Arctic Change 2017 Student Day transcends international boundaries and research disciplines to provide a range of sessions that equip early-career researchers with the tools they need to succeed in international Arctic research. The theme for Student Day 2017 is ‘International Cooperation and Collaboration in Arctic Research’ and is brought to you in collaboration with the ArcticNet Student Association (ASA), the Association of Polar Early Career Scientists (APECS), and the Permafrost Young Researchers Network (PYRN). Student Day will offer a range of plenaries, workshops, and panel discussions, as well as an ice-breaker event, an elevator pitch competition, and a networking/social evening.

Plenary

Dr. Peter Harrison (Professor Emeritus, Queen’s University; Chair of the Montreal IPY “From Knowledge to Action” Conference (2012)) About: Some of the early career scientists at the conference have benefitted from Canada’s $156 million in IPY. I will describe the events leading up to IPY, and how Canada’s investment in research cams about (and nearly cratered); IPY results; and the Montreal IPY “From Knowledge to Action” Conference (2012). Indeed, APECS was a result of the IPY international cooperation.

This ‘conversations from the couch’ styled panel will reflect on the role that NGOs play in addressing Arctic change. BRIDGING NORTHERN AND SOUTHERN PERSPECTIVES ON ARCTIC RESEARCH PRIORITIES (part 1) Co-facilitators: Schools on Board, Ikaarvik, and Environmental Technology Program (Iqaluit) second-year students.

13:30

Workshop

About: This engaging workshop will create a space for meaningful discussion about Arctic research priorities from both northern and southern students’ perspectives. A moderated discussion will facilitate knowledge sharing between students and early career researchers. This session is aimed at those interested in collaboratively developing future research projects and develop meaningful connections.

303A

COMMUNITY-BASED RESEARCH IN THE ARCTIC Kristeen McTavish (Food Security Coordinator for Nunatsiavut), Shannon O'Hara (Inuit Research Advisor for Inuvialuit), Carla Pamak (Inuit Research Advisor for Nunatsiavut), Robert Watt (Inuit Research Advisor for Nunavik), Jody Illasiak (Paulatuk Hunters and Trappers Committee) and Dr. Tristan Pearce (Senior Research Fellow at the University of the Sunshine Coast). Facilitator: Casey Remmer (PhD Student, University of Waterloo). 14:15


About: Research on climate change in the Arctic, particularly projects aiming to contribute to practical adaptation initiatives, requires active involvement and collaboration with community members and local, regional and national organizations that use this research for policy-making. Arctic communities are already experiencing and adapting to environmental and socio-cultural changes, and researchers have a practical and ethical responsibility to engage with communities that are the focus of the research. This ‘conversations from the couch’ styled panel draws on the experiences of stakeholders working with communities across the Canadian Arctic to outline key considerations for effectively engaging Arctic communities in collaborative research.

Best Practices

Be friendly and patient. Be welcoming. We strive to be a Network that welcomes and supports people from a variety of backgrounds and cultures. Be considerate. Your work will be used by other people, and you in turn will depend on the work of others. Your actions and decisions may affect colleagues, collaborators and partners and you should take those consequences into account. Be respectful. Not all of us will agree all the time, but members of the ArcticNet Network should be respectful when dealing with other members as well as with people outside of ArcticNet. Be careful with the words that you choose. We are a community of professionals and we should conduct ourselves professionally. Remember that ArcticNet is a diverse Network and you might not be communicating in someone else's primary language. When we disagree, try to understand why. Disagreements, both technical and social do happen and Arctic science is no exception. It is important that we resolve disagreements and differing views constructively. A strength of ArcticNet comes in its varied membership - people with diverse expertise, skills and from a wide range of backgrounds and perspectives. __________________________________________________________________________________________ This Code Of Conduct is modeled on the American Geophysical Union Meeting Code of Conduct, the Design and Content Conference Code of Conduct and the Speak Up!
