北极面临着多重压力，包括气候变化、人口结构变化、人类健康风险、社会正义失衡、治理问题和不断扩大的资源开采。学术学科的融合-如自然和社会科学，工程和技术，健康和医学-以及国际视野需要有意义地促进解决北极人民和生态系统的挑战。然而，成功地开展趋同的国际研究和教育仍然是一项挑战。在这里，从规划阶段的融合研究项目的北极科学集成任务（ASIAQ）开发的北极沃茨的健康有关的经验教训进行了讨论。我们讨论了我们对挑战的看法，以及成功的策略，从ASIAQ项目中获得的融合研究，该项目在2018-2020年期间汇集了来自四个国家（瑞典，日本，俄罗斯和美国）的六所大学的不同学科的国际研究人员联盟。
The Arctic faces multiple pressures including climate change, shifting demographics, human health risks, social justice imbalances, governance issues, and expanding resource extraction. A convergence of academic disciplines—such as natural and social sciences, engineering and technology, health and medicine—and international perspectives is required to meaningfully contribute to solving the challenges of Arctic peoples and ecosystems. However, successfully carrying out convergent, international research and education remains a challenge. Here, lessons from the planning phase of a convergence research project concerned with the health of Arctic waters developed by the Arctic Science IntegrAtion Quest (ASIAQ) are discussed. We discuss our perspective on the challenges, as well as strategies for success, in convergence research as gained from the ASIAQ project which assembled an international consortium of researchers from disparate disciplines representing six universities from four countries (Sweden, Japan, Russia, and the United States) during 2018–2020.
