Amplifying Impact Through Collaboration: Knowledge Mobilization and Data Sharing in Arctic Research
Date & Time
Thursday, May 22, 2025, 3:00 PM - 3:15 PM
Description

Knowledge mobilization and data sharing are top priorities for researchers and communities of practice worldwide. While numerous initiatives are gaining momentum, Arctic research presents a unique challenge due to the region's diversity, interdisciplinarity, and the responsibilities that come with it. This presentation aims to showcase these initiatives at the international, national, and regional levels, specifically examining how they interconnect and build upon one another to amplify their impact and looking to challenges related in knowledge mobilization and knowledge-to-action frameworks. The presentation will explore bottom-up approaches to the flow of data from spatiotemporal configurations, with examples from initiatives such as SmartICE, the Canadian Polar Data Consortium (CPDCI), and the Polar Data Search (PDS). Furthermore, it will emphasize the contributions of these initiatives and how they have benefited from coordination efforts by organizations such as the Arctic Data Committee (ADC) and the World Data System - International Technology Office (WDS-ITO). The polar region embodies a multitude of perspectives, and collaboration between interdisciplinary fields is essential to addressing the challenges of the open data movement, including ensuring that Indigenous data sovereignty is incorporated and respected at all levels of open science frameworks.
