IASC Activities and Cross-Cutting Activities Allocation 2025/2026

Details

IASC aims to facilitate international and interdisciplinary Arctic science. To meet this aim, it allocates funds each year for Cross-Cutting Activities – activities that are supported by at least two of the five IASC Working Groups (WGs). The objective of this WG-spanning program is to promote system-scale activities within IASC and to encourage the WGs to explore interdisciplinary activities, in particular across the natural and social sciences. In addition, IASC allocates also funds to Working-Group-specific projects. 

IASC is happy to announce that it will support, in whole or part, the following activities for 2025-2026:
