To facilitate the submission of arctic social science and humanities
expressions of intent (pre-proposals) to the ICSU, the International
Arctic Social Sciences Association (IASSA) has launched an initiative to
create an exchange of ideas, discussion, and active communication.

As part of that effort, IASSA would like to announce the following
opportunities for collaboration.
