This webinar will consider Horizon Europe funding opportunities for US institutions. Horizon Europe is the European Union funding program for research and innovation with a budget of €95.5 billion over 7 years until 2027. Horizon Europe is open to U.S. participants bringing their own funding. However, for some of the mobility grants and for research on health-related topics, U.S. participants can be funded directly by the European Commission. In both cases, U.S. participants will have access to the best research and innovation groups in Europe.

The United States is committed to international scientific cooperation that flows from the mutual recognition of shared values, including scientific freedom, openness, transparency, honesty, equity, fair competition, objectivity, and democratic principles. The Kremlin’s unlawful and unprovoked full-scale invasion of Ukraine is an affront to the principles we seek to affirm and our efforts to advance international science, technology, and innovation for development. We remain concerned that the Kremlin continues to leverage state-controlled institutions to aid in its disinformation campaign against Ukraine. In response to Putin’s aggression, the U.S. government has taken active measures to limit bilateral science and technology research cooperation with the Russian government.

Denmark and the Faroe Islands signed an agreement on Thursday to build a radar system that will monitor activities in the airspace between Iceland, Norway and the United Kingdom. “The radar will give an overview of the airspace and identify who operates around the unity of the realm. It will benefit our unity at a time where Europe’s security is threatened,” Denmark’s Minister of Defense Morten Bødskov said in a press release.

This was stated by the Danish Defense Ministry. The agreement was signed by the Minister of Foreign Affairs and Culture, Jenis av Rana of the Faroe Islands, and Danish Minister of Defense, Morten Bødskov. The two had initially announced a plan for the radar project in February 2021, but it has taken on more urgency in the wake of Russia's invasion of Ukraine. "The radar will benefit the community at a time when Europe's security is threatened," Bodskov said, although he did not mention Russia by name.

The Municipality of Anchorage Assembly adopted the Anchorage Climate Action Plan (CAP) and Strategy in May of 2019, a roadmap for reducing greenhouse gas (GhG) emissions and adapting to changes we're already seeing. The CAP was developed in partnership with the University of Alaska Anchorage with the input of hundreds of residents. Climate change poses threats to our infrastructure, public health, and wellbeing. Responsible initiatives can reduce costs and risks.

The Wilson Center’s Polar Institute and the Greenland Representation in Washington, DC will host this conversation with Greenland Prime Minister Múte B. Egede. Greenland has recently become an epicenter of interest in natural resource investment and development in the Arctic. With accessible deposits of minerals needed to satisfy rising global demand, and fisheries exports as a key component of Greenland’s economy, as well as other trade products, Greenland is poised to capitalize on its strategic geographic location and natural resources. However, investments in these and other areas must limit environmental impacts on the fragile Greenlandic ecosystem and more broadly consider how to implement the Green transition. How can such investments bolster Greenland’s economy? What role can the United States play in facilitating environmentally and socially responsible development?

The US CLIVAR Observing, Modeling, and Understanding the Circulation of the Arctic Ocean and Sub-Arctic Seas Workshop will explore changes in Arctic Ocean and sub-Arctic seas circulation related to global change and the observing system required to track those changes in the future. The observing system design effort will be cognizant of the practical, geopolitical, and operational constraints of Arctic Ocean observing, but will incorporate modern objective experimental design and data assimilation using numerical models as fundamental guiding principles. Its work will contribute to evaluations of model simulations and observational analyses to assess opportunities for model improvements.

The events during the week of August 1st, 2022, will include Enhancing Arctic Science and Engineering Workshop along with Regional Development Tours and forums on the Arctic science to plan for the next 25 years of Arctic research. Participants will include scientists and engineers, Indigenous leaders, Arctic community members, policymakers, government organizations and businesses to celebrate past research success, take stock of current challenges and opportunities and plan for the next generation of collaboration and knowledge co-production that will keep Utqiagvik and Indigenous knowledge at the forefront of Arctic science and contribute to a safe and sustainable future for

the Arctic.

The Forum is organized in cooperation with Naalakkersuisut - The Government of Greenland. The Focus of the 2022 Greenland Forum will be on climate and prosperity; and, geopolitics and progress.

The Arctic Circle Assembly is an open democratic platform with participation from governments, organizations, corporations, universities, think tanks, environmental associations, indigenous communities, concerned citizens, and others. It is nonprofit and nonpartisan.

The Graduate Climate Conference (GCC) is an interdisciplinary climate conference run by graduate students, for graduate students. Over the last sixteen years, graduate students representing hundreds of academic institutions have come together to present research and share ideas on climate and climate change in an array of disciplines. Organizers welcome abstracts from diverse fields such as atmospheric sciences, biology, environmental management, forestry and fisheries sciences, oceanography, communication, public policy studies, urban planning, public health, and any other climate-related disciplines.

The International Symposium on Arctic Research (ISAR) has been held every two years since 2008 and aims to present and discuss scientific results with researchers on the Arctic from all-over the world, extracting and sharing issues to solve, and exploring the future of the Arctic. ISAR-7 will consist of General Sessions and Special Sessions. General Sessions will address the following topics: atmosphere; ocean and sea ice; rivers, lakes, permafrost, and snow cover; ice sheets, glaciers, and ice cores; terrestrial ecosystems; marine ecosystems; geospacer; laws, politics, and economy; language, culture, and health; and, engineering for sustainable development.
