Abstract Submission Deadline: May 31, 2015

The Association of Canadian Universities for Northern Studies (ACUNS) has a vision “to engage Canadians in thinking and dialogue about research and education in Canada’s north”. As part of their mission, a triennial conference is held to advance and promote northern research and education. The 11th ACUNS Student Conference will take place in Calgary, Alberta, and is hosted by the Arctic Institute of North America and the University of Calgary. Largely organized by a committee of graduate students from the University of Calgary, ACUNS 2015 welcomes students from around the world.

This interdisciplinary conference will be a gathering of early career scholars working on all topics related to the circumpolar north, be they in science, social science, or the humanities. The conference will provide young researchers the opportunity to exchange ideas, develop professional experience, and make national and international connections.

Under the theme Due North: Next Generation Arctic Research & Leadership, the next generation of northerly scholars are invited to attend ACUNS 2015. We invite you to present your work and to bring your expertise to this exciting event. Our diverse sessions will include topics on climate change, food security, natural resource development, Arctic policy, sustainable development, northern biodiversity and conservation, education, and circumpolar health.

Abstracts will be accepted until May 31, 2015.
