The 8th International ACUNS Student Conference on Northern Studies, titled Melting Boundaries: Carrying Out Effective Research in the Circumpolar World will be held in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada on October 19-21, 2007. We are expecting participants from around the circumpolar world, including Canada, United States, Finland, Norway, Russia, and other countries. Additionally, an International Polar Year (IPY) themed workshop will be held on Thursday October 18, 2007 to provide an opportunity for students to interact with leading Arctic and Antarctic researchers.

The intent of this conference is to showcase student research that has a northern scope with a special emphasis on interdisciplinary research. The primary mandate of this conference is to provide students with effective ways to facilitate and communicate research objectives between the scientific community and northern residents. Our commitment is to recognize, respect and promote the diversity and wealth of worldviews of all persons involved in northern research. Our vision is for a spirit of openness, respect, sharing that will leave you with new inspiration and ways of thinking about northern research.
