The Arctic Forum 2012 and the 24th ARCUS Annual Meeting will convene 1-2
May 2012 in Washington, D.C. The Arctic Forum will take place on
Tuesday, 1 May at the Ronald Reagan Building and International Trade
Center. It is being held as part of a larger Science Policy Conference
(30 April - 3 May) hosted by the American Geophysical Union (AGU), aimed
at natural and social scientists and decision makers. The Forum will
focus on science that helps inform stakeholders' decision-making
processes. Assessing gaps and priority needs for arctic scientific
information, the Forum will address three themes:

- Governance and Security in the Arctic,
- Energy Development in the Arctic, and
- Changing Arctic Ecosystems.

The Forum will examine the current state of decision-maker and public
understanding of the issues. An important goal will be to foster an
increased capacity for dialogue on arctic science policy issues.

Further information, including registration and the agenda, is available
on the conference website: http://sites.agu.org/spconference.

The ARCUS Annual Meeting will take place on the morning of Wednesday, 2
May at the Pew Charitable Trusts Conference Center. The Annual Meeting
serves to gather ARCUS member institution representatives, board
members, and staff for an update on ARCUS programs and activities. The
wider arctic community, agency personnel, and policymakers are invited
to attend.
