Multidisciplinary Workshops for Early Career Researchers in Arctic Social Sciences and Engineering

In early 2023, a series of workshops, funded by UArctic and EU H2020 Nunataryuk, were held in several Arctic communities, including Ilulissat (Greenland), Inuvik and Aklavik (Canada), and Longyearbyen (Svalbard). These workshops enabled Early Career Researchers (ECRs) in Arctic social, health, and engineering sciences to disseminate their research results to the communities. Additionally, the workshops provided a platform for the ECRs, senior scientists, local and Indigenous rights- and stakeholders participating in the events to engage in multidirectional knowledge exchanges on permafrost thaw risks and adaptation. In particular, sessions were held to gather local perceptions of risks and associated impacts. This report provides detailed summaries of the workshops, discussed topics and involved participants.
