The theme of ASSW 2025 is “Arctic Research Planning for the Next Decade” as it will include the Fourth International Conference on Arctic Research Planning (ICARP IV) Summit, providing a unique opportunity for participants to contribute toward planning the next decade of Arctic research. The ICARP IV Summit will engage Arctic researchers, Indigenous Peoples, policymakers, and other interested parties from around the world, serving as a crucial milestone for shaping the Fifth International Polar Year in 2032–33.
ASSW 2025 will be hosted as a hybrid event at the University of Colorado Boulder, located in the scenic foothills of the Rocky Mountains.
The ASSWs have been organized annually since 1999 by the International Arctic Science Committee (IASC) to provide opportunities for coordination, cooperation and collaboration within Arctic research. It is our honor to host this next important annual convening in Boulder, Colorado to advance Arctic research, bring together science and Indigenous Knowledge, and discuss urgent matters concerning the Arctic and its place in the global system.
