Partial Support of the Fifth International Congress of Arctic Social Sciences (ICASS V)

该建议是为了部分支持将于2004年5月19日至23日在阿拉斯加费尔班克斯大学举行的第五届国际北极社会科学大会(ICASSV)。大会的其他支持来自阿拉斯加大学的系统和参与者费用。第五届国际北极科学大会由国际北极社会科学协会(IASSA)组织。从1992年开始，IASSA一直在组织三年一度的大会，将来自世界各地的学者聚集在一起，包括科学家、北极居民和学生，讨论、审查和评估北极的社会科学研究。ICASS第五届会议的主题“北极社会系统的联系；北极社会系统的本地和全球方面”，鼓励与会者研究北极社会和自然系统如何与全球进程相联系，具有很强的学术价值。

This proposal is for partial support of the Fifth International Congress of Arctic Social Sciences (ICASSV) to be held at the University of Alaska Fairbanks from May 19-23, 2004. Other support for the Congress is coming from the University of Alaska system and participant fees. ICASS V is organized by the International Arctic Social Sciences Association (IASSA). Beginning in 1992, IASSA has been organizing triennial congresses to bring together scholars from around the world, including scientists, Arctic residents, and students to discuss, review and evaluate social science research in the Arctic. The theme of ICASS V, "Connections; Local and Global Aspects of Arctic Social Systems," has strong intellectual merit by encouraging the participants to examine how Arctic social and natural systems are connected to global processes.
