2017 North Pacific Arctic Conference: Building Capacity for a Sustainable Arctic in a Changing Global Order

该奖项支持四名早期职业科学家前往北太平洋北极会议（NPAC），作为2017年题为“在不断变化的全球秩序中建设可持续北极能力的会议”的小组成员和参与者。“拟议项目的短期目标是：（1）将北极地区有前途的下一代科学家与现有的知识和领导网络联系起来;（2）为他们提供成为该地区未来领导者所需的额外知识，经验，灵感和机会。3）确保早期职业科学家代表该地区的多样性，包括妇女和土著参与者。从长远来看，该项目旨在培养这些早期职业科学家，使他们能够进入未来的区域领导角色。东西方中心将通过将四名高素质，预选的早期职业科学家带到2017年8月9日至11日为期两天的NPAC会议来实现其目标。他们将作为会议记录的正式参与者，首先作为小组成员;第二作为NPAC 2017年会议记录的贡献者;第三作为与NPAC社区相关的高级虚拟网络的参与者。 会议结束后，他们将继续作为这些虚拟网络的参与者，并有机会向东西方中心的《亚太公报》和《亚太问题》出版物贡献他们的书面作品。

This award support travel for four early career scientists to the North Pacific Arctic Conference (NPAC) as panelists and participants in the 2017 conference titled "Conference on Building the Capacity for A Sustainable Arctic in a Changing Global Order." The short-term objectives of the proposed project is 1) to tie promising next generation scientists from the Arctic region into existing knowledge and leadership networks; 2) to provide them with the additional knowledge, experience, inspiration, and opportunity they need to become future leaders of the region; and 3) to ensure the early career scientists represent the diversity of the region by including women and Indigenous participants. In the longer-term, the project aims to develop these early career scientists so that they will be able to step into future regional leadership roles. The East-West Center will fulfill its objectives by bringing four high-caliber, pre-selected early career scientists to the two-day NPAC conference, August 9-11, 2017. They will be included as full participants in the conference proceedings, first as panelists; second as contributors to the published NPAC 2017 conference proceedings; and third as participants in high-level virtual networks associated with the NPAC community. Upon the conclusion of the conference, they will continue on as participants in these virtual networks and also be given the opportunity to contribute their written works the East- West Center's Asia Pacific Bulletin and Asia Pacific Issue publications.
