This side event is based on a long-term cooperation between the organizers of the event, the University of Versailles Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines with internationally top-ranking expertise on climate-related research and interdisciplinary Arctic studies (environment science and Humanities), the Alfred-Wegener-Institute Helmholtz Centre for Polar and Marine Research, a world leading institution in polar research and the Arctic Portal, the most comprehensive online portal for outreach, data management and visualization focusing on the different needs of the Arctic area. AWI and UVSQ have been jointly running the annual workshop series “Gateway to the Arctic”, created in 2012. The purpose of this project is to bring together scientists from different disciplines and perspectives to discuss and exchange views on the natural, human and social aspects of the changing Arctic. This exchange highly increases the capacity to respond to major societal challenges in the Arctic and encourages further scientific cooperation among different disciplines in cooperation with representatives of the indigenous peoples of the Arctic. AP is a partner of both institutions in a number of ongoing projects including Nunataryuk, APPLICATE, ARICE and EDU-ARCTIC.
The planned side event will keep in line with this tradition. It is divided into two parts: a seminar for PhD students in the morning and a public event in the evening: the seminar will offer a unique opportunity for PhD students from the French and German organizing institutions to meet and discuss with the Arctic experts who are participating in the panel of the evening event. The focus of the seminar will be on the importance of holistic approaches to Arctic challenges, i. e. the necessity to take into consideration the views of all stakeholders to find solutions.
Registration is needed.
