Convergence research brought together diverse participants to develop new perspectives and solutions around complex societal challenges through intentional relationship building and shared understanding. The NSF-funded Navigating the New Arctic Community Office (NNA-CO) supported Arctic-focused convergence research, including the development of four Convergence Working Groups that brought together researchers, local experts, and community representatives to collaborate on focused projects. The Working Groups applied convergence concepts as test beds for best practices, with formation processes open for community feedback and areas of focus aimed to be solidified by early 2023. A webinar was held to share more about convergence research, the Working Groups, and broader opportunities for cross-community interaction within the NNA-CO.
