Call for Abstracts/Registration
Transdisciplinary studies on a rapidly changing Arctic toward a sustainable society
We, as the Symposium Organizing Committee (SOC) of the Seventh International Symposium on Arctic Research (ISAR-7), have decided to hold theSymposium in a hybrid format (partially in-person and partially online) from March 6 to 10, 2023 at the National Institute of Polar Research (NIPR),
Tachikawa, Japan. Unfortunately, the current rule of the Japanese government for accepting foreigners entering Japan is rather complicated (Seeexplanation of ERFS and VISA at https://www.mofa.go.jp/ca/fna/page22e_000921.html). Should this rule still be valid at the time you have to start theVISA/ERFS process at the end of the year, ISAR-7 SOC will not be able to prepare the necessary host person and the documents for ALL the participantsfrom abroad. Therefore, SOC would strongly recommend participants find a researcher or a friend who belongs to a Japanese university or institutionthat has agreed to cooperate in obtaining the VISA/ERFS. Such a person can be a host if the foreign participants are planning to join the symposium inperson. We also welcome participation in the symposium online. We will prepare online access for all oral and poster presentations.
We are preparing for an excellent Symposium, with the theme “Transdisciplinary studies on a rapidly changing Arctic toward a sustainable society.”
There were 24 proposals for Special Sessions, with 10 Regular Sessions. A hybrid format of ISAR-7 would allow for wider access from worldwide. We arelooking forward to meeting you in-person or online in March 2023.
ISAR-7 will take place at the National Institute of Polar Research in Tachikawa, Japan (https://www.jcar.org/isar-7/venue/) from March 6 to 10, 2023.
