ARCUS has hosted the Arctic Forum annually since 1994 to provide a venue
to gather together members of the interdisciplinary arctic research
community, agency personnel and policy makers, educators, students, and
other stakeholders to discuss and address important arctic research,
policy, and education issues.

In order to focus on other priorities for the year, the Arctic Forum
will be on hiatus in 2009. ARCUS will be exploring options and funding
for an Arctic Forum, or similar meeting, for 2010 and future years.

The annual corporate meeting and the Council Forum membership meeting,
usually held in conjunction with the Arctic Forum, will be held
virtually as web-meetings this summer. Dates for these meetings, more
information, and notice of public sessions will be announced via
ArcticInfo soon.

meetings, please contact:
