Hosted in Ottawa, December 9 – 12, 2024, ArcticNet’s 5th International Arctic Change Conference (AC2024), a special 20th edition of our Annual Scientific Meeting (ASM) is a hub for Arctic and northern research in Canada. The AC2024 brings together researchers from the natural, health, and social sciences to meet the challenges and opportunities of a rapidly changing Arctic region. 

This conference will push the boundaries of our collective understanding of the Arctic and strengthen our ability to address the issues of today and tomorrow.  Interdisciplinary cooperation and knowledge sharing, across the Arctic and the North, as well as innovative and evidence-based research, are key in achieving climate change adaptation and proposing sound mitigation strategies. 

As a hub for Arctic research in Canada, the AC brings together a broad range of research in and about the Arctic and northern regions of Canada and the world. The AC2024 advances our collective understanding with an inclusive view of the North spanning from Inuit Nunangat, across the Canadian territories and provinces, circumpolar Arctic regions, and beyond.  

The Canadian Ocean Literacy Coalition will be bringing the giant floor map to activate an ocean literacy room during the Early Career Northern Researcher’s Day on December 9th.
