The 2026 Navigating the New Arctic (NNA) Annual Community Meeting was an in-person meeting for the NNA initiative. This year's meeting took place from September 15-17, 2026 at the Wood Center on the University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF) campus. The gathering provided an opportunity for NNA researchers, project partners, Arctic Indigenous community and organization representatives, decision-makers, educators, and others to come together to share research outcomes, Arctic community research priorities, lessons learned, and to discuss future opportunities for collaborative, use-inspired Arctic research.
