Arctic Horizon Scan 2022 Workshop
From Wednesday 07 September 2022
To Friday 09 September 2022
Location Oxford, UK
The Oxford University Polar Forum is pleased to announce the Arctic Horizon Scan 2022. 
 
What is it? A global call to identify Arctic research priorities for the next decade.
 
Rationale: The urgency of Arctic change demands that researchers look ahead, share perspectives across disciplinary divides, and understand how they can meet the needs of the future. 
 
Online Survey (launch: 21st Feb): We are inviting researchers of all disciplines, people from local and Indigenous Arctic communities, policymakers, funders of research, and all other stakeholders, to contribute towards the Horizon Scan by participating in this secure online survey, which asks participants to describe one or more topics that they consider to be priorities for Arctic research in the next decade. We welcome submissions about any topic, large-scale and local, natural and social. Please see our webpage for more details: https://www.polar.ox.ac.uk/horizon/
 
Oxford workshop (7-9th Sep):

Over 7-9th September 2022, delegates to the hybrid Arctic Horizon Scan 2022 Workshop will discuss and determine research priorities for the Arctic that will be important over the next decade. The diverse range of expertise and perspectives offered by delegates will help shape the Arctic research agenda, and ensure that research can meet the needs of the future.

Delegates will be able to attend in-person or online. The workshop will be based at the Oxford University Museum of Natural History, and optional accommodation has been reserved for in-person delegates at St Peter’s College, where there will be a workshop dinner on 8th Sep. All delegates will contribute to the publication of a peer-reviewed article outlining research priorities for the Arctic. Funds are available to support Indigenous delegates to attend.
 
Please visit https://www.polar.ox.ac.uk/horizon-scan-workshop/ for more information and registration links.
 
Please register for in-person attendance by 27th July, and online attendance no later than 20th August.
 
Outcomes: The Horizon Scan will build towards a peer-reviewed report summarising the findings of the workshop and online survey. Through participation in the Horizon Scan, we hope that new cross-disciplinary connections will be made, and that different forms of knowledge (e.g. scientific and traditional) will be brought together.
