The Arctic Science Summit Week (ASSW) is organised annually by the International Arctic Science Committee (IASC) to provide opportunities for coordination, cooperation and collaboration between the various scientific organisations involved in Arctic research. It was initiated by the IASC in 1999 and has evolved into the most important annual gathering of the Arctic research organisation.
The Arctic Science Summit Week (ASSW) 2025 will be organized from 20 – 28 March 2025 in Boulder, Colorado (USA) by the International Arctic Science Committee (IASC) and hosted by the University of Colorado Boulder in collaboration with the U.S. National Academies’ Polar Research Board and other partners.
As part of Arctic Science Summit Week 2025 and the Fourth International Conference on Arctic Research Planning (ICARP IV), the Open Session, titled “Bridging Worlds: Power of Knowledge Co-Production”, will explore the collaborative potential of Indigenous knowledge and scientific research in Arctic studies.
The Open Session is organized on March 26th by the 10545 GEF-UNEP Reindeer Herding and Resilience Project, with support from:
