The Icelandic Greenlandic Arctic Science Days will be held in Ilimmarfik, University of Greenland’s campus building in Nuuk, 21-22 September 2012. Proposed by The Icelandic Joint Committee on Arctic Affairs (under the auspices of the Icelandic Ministry for the Environment and Natural Resources) and organized in collaboration with University of Greenland (Ilisimatusarfik) and Greenland Climate Research Centre (Silap Pissusianik Ilisimatusarfik), these inaugural Icelandic-Greenlandic Arctic Science Days will be an opportunity for the sharing of knowledge and research results from the two scientific milieus of Iceland and Greenland, a venue for presentation of projects and building of partnerships for future collaboration.

The program is composed of seminar presentations, plenary sessions, keynote lecture and discussions that will provide an overview of current scientific activities and engagement in the Arctic and inform practitioners in the research community, policy makers and the concerned general public of the condition and prospects of Arctic research-related issues in the respective countries.
