ABSTRACT
This award constitutes partial support for the Eighth International Congress of Arctic Social Science (ICASS VIII), which will be held in May 2014 at the University of Northern British Columbia, Canada. ICASS brings together scholars and other researchers interested in issues of the North. The focus of this Congress will be on "Northern Sustainabilities" and the requested funding will be used to support the participation of early career scholars, indigenous scholars, as well as northern indigenous community members. The organizers, Andrey Petrov (member of the organizing committee of the International Congress of Arctic Social Sciences), and Gail Fondahl (President of the International Arctic Social Science Association) will help build interdisciplinary capacity and scholarship by supplementing support increased participation in the Congress. This in turn will provide new insights in to key areas of concern both from scientists and the public on the long term sustainability of northern development and community well-being.

This award partically funded the Eighth International Congress of Arctic Social Science (ICASS VIII), which will be held in May 2014 at the University of Northern British Columbia, Canada, and its follow-up activities. ICASS brought together scholars and other researchers interested in issues of the North. The focus of this Congress was on "Northern Sustainabilities" and the funding was used to support the participation of early career scholars, indigenous scholars, as well as northern indigenous community members.
ICASS VIII gathered 470 IASSA members from 26 countries in Prince George, B.C. Running from 22-25 May, the Congress included four keynotes, three plenary panels, 109 sessions involving 411 papers, and 38 posters. Two edited volumes were published based on selected papers from this meeting.
With its interdisciplinary emphasis on the dynamic social questions that face the Arctic, ICASS VIII encouraged participants to learn about the work of, and connect with, scholars from disciplines they might not have considered previously as relevant to their own work. By incorporating Indigenous and other stakeholder perspectives as an integral part of the Congress, the event fostered the sharing of knowledge, perspectives and dialogue on a wider range of issues critical to the Arctic region. ICASS VIII held special sessions and panels where early career scholars (ECS) from diverse backgrounds were able to present and receive feedback for their research. The Congress engaged local students provided opportunities for professional development and organized special and side meetings were an important professional development opportunities.
The project also funded and co-funded follow-up activities, such as presentations at various conferences based on ICASS VIII outcomes and dissemination/discussion of findings at several venues, including community knowledge sharing workshops.
