\nUNE North<\/a>
\nUNE NORTH: The Institute for North Atlantic Studies of the University of New England is an education and research leader for Maine connected to the North Atlantic\/Arctic region grounded in the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals and built to support local to global collaborative approaches to shared challenges and opportunities. UNE NORTH will develop innovative partnerships that support a healthy environment, human health and wellness, recycling economies, scientific and ecologically-educated societies. UNE NORTH will train the next generation of leaders – its students, researchers, business and community partners – in sustainable development by building collaborative approaches to shared challenges and opportunities.\n
\nArctic Futures Initiative<\/a>
\nAn important conclusion from several recent events in Finland and the USA was the need for a holistic, integrative assessment of plausible futures of the Arctic, cutting across different disciplines and individual countries’ strategic interests. As an international, independent, non-governmental institute, IIASA is in the process of initiating an Arctic Futures Initiative as a IIASA Futures Initiative, integrating academia, policy, business and society for a holistic understanding of the Arctic.\n
\nArctic Futures Institute<\/a>
\nThe Arctic Futures Institute (AFI) is a joint initiative between three Maine-based\u00a0partners<\/a>: the Center for Oceans & Coastal Law of the University of Maine School of Law, the Climate Change Institute of the University of Maine, and the World Ocean Observatory. The three founding AFI institutions are a unique combination of science, law, policy and outreach based in Maine.\n
\nARCUS – resources for Conducting Research with Northern Communities<\/a>
\nScientific research in the Arctic necessitates good communication and cooperation with northern communities. The following list is a compilation of resources, recommendations, and “best practices” from a variety of organizations. This webpage is intended to be a living resource and will be updated as new information becomes available. Each community has a unique set of requests for researcher conduct and level of desired inclusivity. As such, direct communication and relationships with community leaders should be the highest priority.\n

\nArctic in Rapid Transition (ART)<\/a>
\nA pan-Arctic, international and interdisciplinary scientific network of early career scientists (ECS).\u00a0Our major goals are:
\na) to\u00a0improve our understanding of the past, present and future\u00a0responses of Arctic ecosystems to sea ice transitions and climate\u00a0change by bridging science disciplines, geographic regions, and time\u00a0scales, and
\n\u200bb) to create an active network of early career scientists from all disciplines.\n
\nInternational Arctic Science Committee<\/a>
\nThe objective of the IASC is to promote research collaboration in the Arctic region and to provide advice to the international community on the issues of the Arctic.\u00a0The organization brings together public research institutes and associations from 23 countries and has established itself as one of the most important international forums for research and surveillance in the Arctic.\n
\nAlfred Wegener Institute Helmholtz Center for Polar and Marine Research<\/a>
\nLocated in\u00a0Bremerhaven<\/a>, Germany, it conducts research in the\u00a0Arctic<\/a>, in the\u00a0Antarctic<\/a>\u00a0and in the high and mid latitude oceans. Additional research topics are:\u00a0North Sea<\/a>\u00a0research, marine biological monitoring and technical marine developments. The institute was founded in 1980 and is named after\u00a0meteorologist<\/a>,\u00a0climatologist<\/a>\u00a0and geologist\u00a0Alfred Wegener<\/a>.\n
\nAssociation of Polar Early Career Scientists<\/a>
