2021 NNA Annual Community Meeting
The 2021 NNA Annual Community Meeting for investigators and partners was held on November 8-10, 2021. This meeting, held in cooperation between the NNA-CO and the National Science Foundation’s (NSF) NNA Working group, provided an important opportunity for NNA project teams, Arctic community members, Indigenous and Traditional knowledge holders, decision makers and other experts to gather to discuss and highlight progress, opportunities, and challenges across the NNA initiative.
Each day of the meeting revolved around a distinct theme: strengthening equity in research (Day 1), identifying elements for convergence research (Day 2), or building a foundation for action (Day 3). Daily agendas included plenary presentations, discussion panels, and collaboratively developed training opportunities.
This meeting was held virtually using the conference app Whova. Future meetings will be a mix of in-person or virtual.
