・BackgroundThe subject of how the results of polar studies are utilized by various stakeholders has
become further highlighted following IPY2007-2008. The importance of exploring the potential
and actual applications of research knowledge is increasingly being recognized, and open
dialogue in conjunction with research planning are facilitating the alignment of potential
stakeholder needs with solutions-based scientific research.
The International Study for Arctic Change (ISAC) held the first Arctic Observing Summit(AOS) in 2013 in Vancouver, Canada, with support of the International Arctic Science
Committee (IASC). The AOS has started to serve as a forum to engage the Arctic scientificcommunity with stakeholders under the theme of the“Observation-understanding-respondingsystem.” Following the Arctic Science Summit Week (ASSW) held in Helsinki in 2014, the AOS
summit will be held in conjunction with the ASSW every other year, and continuing with the next
ASSW/AOS meeting to be held in Fairbanks, Alaska, in 2016. The AOS is internationally one of
the most important meetings for linking the Arctic science community and stakeholders.
Leading discussions at AOS is an effective way to show Japan’s initiative and strong support forbuilding the invaluable partnerships and linkages with stakeholders in Arctic science.	 
・Purpose
By bringing together nationally and internationally recognized Arctic experts who are leading
pilot projects with the involvement of stakeholders, the workshop aims to exchange hands-on
knowledge for extending the boundaries of Natural Sciences and Humanities/Social Sciencesthrough the early engagement with stakeholders, including policy makers and IndigenousPeoples, and building a roadmap toward solutions.
With this in mind, we will discuss the following themes at the workshop:- How can Arctic research communities interact with stakeholders- Identifying the differences and similarities of "stakeholder groups" for Arctic states andnon-Arctic states- What would improve scientific contributions consist of for the Arctic community by
non-Arctic states- What do Arctic states expect with respect to science from non-Arctic states
Summarizing the issues raised during this workshop from the perspectives of non-Arctic
countries will contribute to AOS 2016 and will serve to emphasize to participating countries thatstakeholders and their engagement in the Natural Sciences and Humanities/Social Sciences
should be strongly considered in Arctic research planning and policy.
