Session Description:
As the Arctic region garners increasing global interest, Greenland stands at a pivotal moment with its new research strategy charting the course for the future. This session at Arctic Science Summit Week 2025 will delve into Greenland's National Research Strategy 2022-2030, exploring how it serves as a framework for advancing Arctic research, fostering sustainable development, and enhancing international collaboration. The session invites key stakeholders including policymakers, experts, and research community members to discuss the solutions provided by the research community and how the strategy’s four main goals align with and contribute to ICARP IV's objectives.
Key topics will include:
- Anchoring Research in Greenland: Emphasizing the integration of local knowledge and expertise in Arctic research.
- Supporting Sustainable Social Development: Highlighting the role of research in the economic, social, and cultural growth of Arctic communities.
- Ensuring Accessibility of Research Results: Promoting transparent and accessible dissemination of research findings to all stakeholders.
- Fostering International Collaboration: Building and strengthening global partnerships to address Arctic challenges.
Confirmed speakers include representatives from Arctic Hub and the Government of Greenland, who will provide insights into ongoing initiatives and future directions. The session will invite key stakeholders to feature practical examples of tested solutions.
This comprehensive discussion aims to bridge the gap between Greenland's research strategy and ICARP IV’s goals, ensuring that the research not only advances scientific understanding and predictive capabilities of Arctic systems but also provides actionable insights for both Arctic residents and global communities.
