The aim of the conference is to identify key priorities for
the UK Arctic science community and welcome participants from diverse career
stages and disciplines. We will focus on three themes: (1) Strengths of UK
Arctic science, (2) Sustainability challenges and resilience of Arctic
research, and (3) Science-policy linkages. Each theme will consist of a small
number of keynote talks, panel discussions and sandpit activities. The
latter will be important for enabling priorities to be agreed at the
conference, which will subsequently be synthesised as a policy piece.
In addition, an extended poster session in the informal
setting of Wylam Brewery will guarantee everyone is able to present their research
and engage in Arctic science discussion. The conference dinner will directly
follow the poster session.
