NNA-CO Broader Impacts Network (BIN) Meeting
April 27, 2022 - 2pm-3pm Eastern / 12pm-1pm Mountain / 10am-11am Alaska, Virtual
The NNA-CO will be organizing and facilitating an NNA International Meeting (hybrid event) at ASSW 2022. This meeting will focus on highlighting both existing international NNA research partnerships and opportunities for new international collaboration.
This virtual workshop is a collaboration between the Arctic Data Center, ELOKA, and the NNA Community Office, and will focus on the presentation of open science principles and best practices. Open science will be explored from the lens of reproducibility of research, Indigenous data sovereignty, and community data management. The first half of this four hour session will focus on FAIR Principles (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reproducible), ethical data practices, and community data management.
As a key part of NNA Community Office (NNA-CO) funded activities, the NNA-CO will facilitate the formation, implementation, and outputs of four Convergence Working Groups. The NNA-CO has established an initial set of Convergence Working Group functions and goals, but many design elements of the Convergence Working Group (CWG) process are intentionally not yet fully defined to allow for community input. The thematic or topical focuses of the CWGs have also not yet been identified to allow for co-design of the working groups across the NNA project community.

The NNA-CO, together with the ARC-NAV project, is hosting a virtual open meet-up to discuss interests and ideas for a possible future network of community research liaisons. Such a network could facilitate greater community-driven research with liaisons in leadership roles, create new opportunities for comparative work, and expand shared research infrastructure. The network could provide opportunities for greater coordination and training for liaisons and community members interested in taking on these roles in the future.
The changing polar environments have created important scientific and societal concerns in high and lower latitudes. In this session we will share effective approaches, frameworks and examples of how to promote a broad understanding and awareness of the changing Arctic and the related societal implications. The session will highlight effective strategies to inspire learners in both formal and informal learning contexts as well as communities.
