SUMMARY:Arctic CCS: Community and Citizen Science in the Far North - Abstract submission open
LOCATION:Online
DESCRIPTION:<p style="text-align: justify;">Organizers of <strong>Arctic CCS: Community
  &amp; Citizen Science (CCS) in the Far North</strong> invite presentation 
 abstracts for the virtual conference. This conference will be held <strong>
 online 5-7 October 2021</strong>.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">This f
 ree, virtual conference will focus on sharing, networking, and discussing t
 he various aspects of conducting community and citizen science research in 
 the Arctic. This conference is in response to a growing community of Arctic
  researchers, Arctic communities, and Arctic visitors that are becoming mor
 e engaged in scientific research. Conference organizers recognize that alth
 ough there are many resources regarding community and citizen science avail
 able online, there are few venues to build a community around issues specif
 ic to the Arctic.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">The primary goal of th
 e conference is to provide an opportunity to share knowledge and increase n
 etworking among researchers, community members, and other practitioners of 
 community and citizen science in the Arctic. The focus is on the circumpola
 r Arctic (e.g., it's not limited to one region, state, or country). Organiz
 ers hope to start to build a "community of practice" that can continue to s
 hare and learn from each other.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>
 This conference will also be an opportunity to:</strong></p><ul style="text
 -align: justify;"><li>Learn about the various community and citizen science
  projects in the Arctic,</li><li>Share the successes and challenges of proj
 ects,</li><li>Discuss how the pandemic has impacted community and citizen s
 cience, and</li><li>Discuss and focus on what is unique about community and
  citizen science in the Arctic.</li></ul><p style="text-align: justify;"><s
