Who We Are
The Navigating the New Arctic Community Office (NNA-CO) builds awareness, partnerships, opportunities, and resources for collaboration and equitable knowledge generation within, between, and beyond the research projects funded by the National Science Foundation’s NNA Initiative. The office builds capacity in early career researchers and provides unique opportunities to inspire and engage a wide audience toward a more holistic understanding of the Arctic—its natural environment, built environment, and diverse cultures and communities.

We will use the Topia platform to break out into small groups facilitated by NNA project leaders. Groups will be organized by geographic region and research interests across diverse knowledge systems and career levels. The focus of these breakout groups will be to explore ways to leverage resources and efforts across projects.
