Panel Discussion "Building successful collaborations with indigenous organisations and communities" While a significant amount of field research is conducted at or near indigenous communities, there exists a lack of interaction and communication between scientists and the local population at multiple scales. Similarly, there is still a lack of indigenous participation in polar research, both at the individual and organisational level. Here, the panel aims to touch on ways and initiatives to effectively engage local communities in research and knowledge transfer. Confirmed guests: |
