ARCTICNET is a Network of Centres of Excellence
of Canada that brings together scientists and managers in the natural, human health and social
sciences with their partners from Inuit organizations, northern communities, federal and provincial agencies
and the
private sector. The objective of ArcticNet is to study the impacts of climate change and modernization in
the coastal Canadian Arctic. Over 150 ArcticNet researchers and 1000 graduate students, postdoctoral
fellows, research associates,
technicians and other specialists from 34 Canadian universities, and 20 federal and provincial agencies and
departments collaborate with more than 150 partner organizations in 14 countries.
ArcticNet funding renewed for 5 years
On April 16, 2019, the NCE
announced that ArcticNet was renewed at a level of $32,475,000 over five years. This
extension will provide an opportunity for the Network to develop beyond the Networks of
Centres of Excellence program and morph into a perennial pan-Canadian research powerhouse
that will match the research effort of any other nation in the Arctic.
