Arctic Challenge for Sustainability II

ーTowards a New Horizon of Arctic Researchー
project

The Arctic Challenge for Sustainability II (ArCS II) is a national flagship project for Arctic research and a successor to the Arctic Challenge for Sustainability (ArCS) project that operated from fiscal 2015 to 2019. The project will take place over approximately four and a half years, from June 2020 to March 2025, primarily through the collaboration of three institutions: the National Institute of Polar Research (NIPR), the Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology (JAMSTEC), and Hokkaido University.
See each content or the brochure for detailed information of the project.
