Week of the Arctic International Conference

这笔赠款将部分支持在美国阿拉斯加州的费尔班克斯举办2017年北极周。这次活动将是来自北极和世界各地的研究人员，政策制定者和利益相关者的聚会，分享他们的观察和意图，他们的理解和他们的挑战，以便我们能够取得更大的科学进步，做出更明智的决策，并更好地利用有限的研究和规划资源。本次会议将在国际北极理事会主席由美国更换为芬兰之际举行，并将提供一个适当的机会来介绍在美国担任主席期间取得的许多成果和成就，同时规划和参与协调地球这一充满活力的地区的未来研究工作。每一个都将推动北极科学、工程、技术和/或政策的某些方面。北极理事会部长级会议吸引了部长级官员，因此也吸引了一个非常庞大的新闻队伍。这一努力将充分利用国际记者的这一机会，最大限度地扩大宣传，进一步促进科学，记录北极的重要性。

This grant is to give partial support to convene the 2017 Week of the Arctic in Fairbanks, Alaska, USA. This event will be a gathering of researchers, policy makers, and stakeholders from around the Arctic and the world, to share their observations and intentions, their understandings, and their challenges so that we may make greater scientific advances, more informed decisions, and better use limited research and planning resources. This event will occur at the time when the chairmanship of the international Arctic Council changes from the US to Finland and will provide an appropriate opportunity to profile the many products and accomplishments attained under US chairmanship, while planning and engaging in the coordination of future research efforts in this dynamic region of the planet.There will be dozens of activities associated with this meeting, and each will advance some aspect of Arctic science, engineering, technology and/or policy. The event is designed to optimize interpersonal communications that are often the essential precursor to new collaborations, new positions for students, and greater understanding for all.The Arctic Council Ministerial draws ministerial level officials, and consequently a very large press contingent. This effort will take full advantage of this access to international journalists to maximize outreach and promote science further that documents the importance of the Arctic
