The French Polar Institute Paul-Emile Victor (IPEV)
The IPEV offers human, logistical, technical and financial as well as the necessary legal framework for the development of French scientific research in the polar and sub-regions. Bringing together professionals polar logistics, the institute uses its knowledge of extreme environments and specific skills to coordinate, support and implement sixty to eighty scientific and technological programs each year in the high-latitude regions, north and south.
The French National Committee for Arctic and Antarctic Research (CNFRA)
The CNFRA is an institutional and academical organization. As the privileged bridge between the laboratories involved in polar research and the Scientific Committee for Antarctic Research (SCAR), it motivates and organizes the representation of the french Antarctic and sub-Antarctic polar research at the international level. The CNFRA also plays an important role in the promotion and enhancement of all polar sciences by organizing annual scientific meetings that bring together young researchers and established researchers.
The French Arctic Initiative (French Arctic Initiative)
The French Arctic Initiative is a scientific monitoring network for the Arctic whose mandate to reflect on working methods and to find answers to the critical issues facing the Arctic at the global scale. It gathers environmental sciences and earth and life sciences, as well as human and social sciences and health sciences. The mission of the French Arctic Initiative is to mobilize the scientific community around these disciplines and to accentuate forward thinking, emphasizing fundamental scientific approaches for use in the Arctic.
The French Committee of the Association of Polar Early Career Scientists (APECS-FRANCE)
APECS-France is an association that brings together a hundred of young french polar scientists and educators. It is based on a team of volunteers, whose objectives are:
• To support and promote the young polar scientists in their career
• To conduct education and outreach projects to introduce to young students the polar regions and the scientific research being conducted there.
Exchange for Local Observations and Knowledge of the Arctic (ELOKA)
ELOKA facilitates the collection, preservation, exchange, and use of local observations and knowledge of the Arctic.ELOKA provides data management and user support, and fosters collaboration between resident Arctic experts and visiting researchers. By working together, Arctic residents and researchers can make significant contributions to understanding the Arctic and recent changes.
ArcticNet (ARCTICNET)
ArcticNet is a Network of Centres of Excellence of Canada that brings together scientists and managers in the natural, human health and social sciences with their partners from Inuit organizations, northern communities, federal and provincial agencies and the private sector to study the impacts of climate change and modernization in the coastal Canadian Arctic. Over 150 ArcticNet researchers and 1000 graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, research associates, technicians and other specialists from 34 Canadian universities, and 20 federal and provincial agencies and departments collaborate with more than 150 partner organizations in 14 countries.
